Shot from right in cracking cup-tie (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

picture

'shot' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'right in cracking cup-tie' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'cracking' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cup'+'tie'='cuptie'
'cuptie' with letters rearranged gives 'pictue'.
'r' placed within 'pictue' is 'PICTURE'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for picture that I've seen before include "Call to mind" , "Photo" , "Painting, drawing or film" , "Form a mental image" , "One can paint a thousand words, it's said" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
