It's certainly context that helps paint it as ironic, yes! These are all details that are definitely lost by just posting a photo on the internet and calling it ironic.
Whilst that is fair, i dont think there is too little information in the picture to see the irony, i think you presumed a lot of details that were incorrect and thats just as bad as me unintentionally ommitting the context you needed to understand my viewpoint.
You have first hand knowledge of what happened there to make it ironic. Judging by other comments, it seems like (at least for now) the photo alone, without context, isn't very ironic. It really is your context that makes it ironic. You should add the context to the original post!
Fair enough.
