This cutline, I believe, states the obvious about the photo.
Original: Friends reunite at the sculpture known on the University of Florida campus as "the french fries" on Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2010.
Rewrite: Students often plan to meet on the University of Florida campus at this sculpture, known as "the french fries." These students met there on Jan. 5, 2010.

This cutline also states the obvious. The person who wrote this cutline could have pulled a quote or detail from the story about Tim Lynch.
Original: Tim Lynch, retired director of the Alachua County Office of Veterans Services, walks past the headstone of the Hampton Veterans Memorial on Saturday.
Rewrite: Tim Lynch, retired director of the Alachua County Office of Verterans Services, spoke Sunday afternoon at the memorial dedication for all United States veterans in Hampton, Fla.

This cutline does not tell the story of the photograph it's paired with at all. The young girls are left unidentified and the reader knows nothing about their experience at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Parade in Riviera Beach, Fla. 
Original: (see site)
Rewrite: [The names of the girls] anxiously wait the approach of more bands and floats in the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Parade in Riviera Beach Monday. They attend the parade with their parents every year.


I believe all three of these cutlines could be more descriptive in telling the story of the photo they are paired with.
