Crossword Genius

Picture of cricket, perhaps, Charlie ignored (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inset

'picture' is the definition.
(inset is a kind of picture)

'cricket perhaps charlie ignored' is the wordplay.
'cricket perhaps' becomes 'insect' (cricket is an example).
'charlie' becomes 'C' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'ignored' is a deletion indicator.
'insect' with 'c' taken out is 'INSET'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for inset that I've seen before include "Small picture placed within a larger one" , "Place within" , "Picture placed within another" , "lesser feature" , "Small picture within borders of another" .)
