Thought for the day: Titles in Competition Matter
I recently judged photos for a camera club. A couple of images had title problems. One image showed a dying flower with a somewhat messy background as if the sensor was very dirty. Turned out that the photographer wanted the background to be very grungy but the title didn’t support that. The other photo had a picture of a western mining town of 50 or 60 years ago with interesting old cars. The problem is that the title referred to a large open-pit mine, which wasn’t in the picture.
Both pictures might have placed higher except for poor titles that impacted the viewers’ understanding of what the picture was about.
