I disagree. It's an awesome and unique photo of the man and the text is not covering the photo. That expression on his face is quite rare. There have been many posts in /s/pics that have just as much text if not more.
I see you downvoted my comment. Did I hurt your fee-fees that much?
I found it incorrect and unhelpful, I think that's what the downvote function is for right? Try not to get your panties in a bind. I'm not downvoting this one of yours because you're asking a legit question.

Doesn't mean they belong there either.
Really? I'm not seeing any exact guidelines for that sub. You self appointing yourself rule-maker or admin? If there were guidelines on the sidebar that said no text, I wouldn't have posted it. If there were guidelines that said no text on the picture, the post would be fine. As it stands, that was an awesome and unique photo of the man along with some text to it's side. I don't see it violating anything.
Good point, maybe we can make the rules clear. They would probably follow the same rules of v/pics:
Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to a website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.
No animated images, gifs, etc.
No memes, comics, "posters", image macros, etc. Screenshots and submissions with text overlays must have emphasis on the picture itself, and not the text.
No gore, porn, or distasteful nudity. NSFW content must be marked.
No overtly political content, where the emphasis is on the politics rather than any intrinsic artistic/aesthetic value. Please consider /v/politics, which allows images, for such content. (this became a guideline later for v/pics rather than a rule)
No text/self posts.
and r/pics (less so but all "pics" subs were based on reddits intended content):
No screenshots or pics where the only focus is a screen.
No pictures with added or superimposed digital text.
No porn or gore.
No personal information, direct links to any social media, subreddit-related meta-drama, witch-hunts or missing/found posts.
All titles must follow title rules.
Submissions are only allowed from one of the approved image hosts.
No gifs or videos.
Comments must be civil. Any racism, bigotry, or any other kind of hate speech is strictly prohibited and will result in a ban.
No submissions featuring before-and-after depictions of personal health progress or achievement.
No false claims of ownership (FCoO) or flooding.
Reposts of images on the front page, or within the set limit of /r/pics/top, will be removed.
Normal users are allowed only one self-promotional link per post.
