    Naming a photo...?

    I have been trying to decide names for some of the photo's I have been taking recently, but I struggle to come up with anything I like. I realise some photo's are self-explanatory when it comes to naming. However, there are some that are not.

    How do you go about naming the photo's you take? Do you go with the obvious? Do you aim to make it a challenge for the viewer so they have to really analyse or study the photo to understand the name?

    Cheers,
    Danic.

    Re: Naming a photo...?

    oh i have fun naming my photo's, i like to give a interesting title to draw the viewers attention,but then again people will curser over the title,and your message will pop up giving away any further detail you have left them,then the viewer decides wether or not they are willing to take the extra click to view your shot, after that if its just too ordinary,they again will pass it along without leaving a comment- so i like to keep them guessing but still putting up a quality shot as well-thats my two cents plus three.

    Sometimes I get creative but mostly the title describes something about what the viewer will see.
