    What's In A Name?

    I started a thread HERE titled What’s In A Name whereby I noted that some people are very clever at creating apt titles and I was wondering if you take this into account when choosing an image in the many competitions.

    Rob (but you can call me Rob) commented.

    “Some titles are just puns - such as my Eggistentialism series. Others can attempt to give the viewer an idea about what the subject is, or any extra meaning or significance that you intended. Some people don't like that though, as they think you are putting ideas into their minds, and they would rather draw their own conclusions.
    Shall we have a title competition? Anyone have a suitable image? It has to be something a bit whacky."


    I think this is a good idea and the festive seasons needs a quirky competition so I’ll start.

    Your mission, if you wish to accept it, is to give a meaningful title to the images that reflects your inner sole OR anything funny you can come up with.

    Please feel free to add quirky images as well as naming previous posts. These can be old images or new ones created. No hard and fast rules just a bit of fun.

    Give a dog a fish and he'll eat today. Teach the dog to fish...and you can relax with a brew.

    Thanks guys, this was interesting, and I think I know why I had trouble coming up with a caption. It's because the stance says, "Go on, make my day" but the eyes say "Brother can you spare a dime" Chris, I laughed out loud at "Play Ball" I would never have come up with that, but the stance does indeed look like an umpire. In this case the expression looks like he's not sure the players will listen.

    Thanks again
    Wendy

    Hi Wendy, what about "Where's the peanuts?" We have lots of ground squirrels and chipmunks at the lake and they are characters. I love this picture and the look on his/her face.
