Crossword Genius

Key picture is very impressive (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

epic

'very impressive' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'key picture' is the wordplay.
'key' becomes 'e' (I've seen this in other clues).
'picture' becomes 'pic'.
'e'+'pic'='EPIC'

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for epic that I've seen before include "Larger than life" , "Large-scale" , "great film" , "imposing" , "Large in scale" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
