Not that one. A clue for both is watching sport.

C506 clue is to work on what is it that appears at at the very bottom of the image

C507 clue is to concentrate on what the partially seen woman in the spotted dress is doing

As was the case with The Misfits the yet unanswered C506 image has a table necessary for the activity in question being watched to be played on.
