Dance Recital shot by iReporter Daphne

We are all for dedication and perseverance, but this young dancer is really taking it to the next level! Daphne Mills uploaded this photo of a dance recital in Danbury, CT to iReport.com with HER caption: "As they say, '...on with the show...'"

How would YOU caption this pic!? Leave us your best in the comments and you might see yourself on "News To Me," just like James Smith who came up with the winning caption for our last offbeat iReport pic!

iReporter gets a root canal

Click here to read all about how iReporter Dinie Belknap came to take this self portrait of a woman getting a root canal. She was a great sport for letting us use it for our contest and an even better sport for uploading it to iReport!

James Smith of El Paso, Texas was the smarty who came up with the winning caption for this photo. Taking a cue from spy thrillers like "The Marathon Man" James clearly knows a thing or two about extracting secrets...

"Vee have vays of making you talk."
