    Untitled--Help!

    Having trouble finding an appropriate title for this one. Any ideas?
    Thanks for taking the time to look.

    Your problem with the title indicates another basic problem. Why did you take the photo in the first place and why did you compose it in the manner you did? If you can answer these questions in your own mind, then you should be able to come up with a good title.

    I know the answers to those questions, but "Church Steeple Rising From the Blossoms" seems too ordinary.

    OK, think about it a bit more. In your mind, you obviously link church/religion with blossoms/flowers/new growth etc. What is that relationship for you?

    To be honest Ronnoco, that was the furthest thing from my mind. I'm not a religious person, and don't know much about flora and fauna. I saw how it looked, and framed it as best I could within the confines of the arrangement of the blossoms to the steeple and pressed the shutter. Seriously. I thought about "Steeple Rising" but that's all I've been able to come up with. Maybe "Hope Springs Eternal".....something like that...I don't know, I need to sleep on it. I think I'm on the verge of a good title, but I'm just drawing a blank.

    I think its a lovely picture. Makes me think of omnipresence, God's presence represented both in nature and in churches all around the world. Still don't have a title for you though

    I think you just did.

    The title of this picture is now "Omnipresence". Thanks amithi.
