Image Title Game

Behind Bars :o)

Didn't expect a sallet, Hans! Also, didn't even know what a sallet was until about 2 minutes ago. See how educational this can be? :)

Hahaha great :o) Glad i could give you that aha moment :o) I just wonder how this will work with people having much more images online than me and perhaps referring to an image well hidden in the big pile. :o) Perhaps we should have links from the titles to the images so the finding will be much more easy :o)

Yes, title and link would work much better! Just updated the game. Thanks for playing along Hans.

I don't understand, if we include a link then what is there to find?

You post the title, Far and Away, and the link, https://fineartamerica.com/featured/far-and-away-alison-frank.html?newartwork=true.

Now, before clicking the link, envision what Far and Away may look like. NOW, click the link. Did what you envision completely differ from what you actually see? Or was it similar?

I expected mountains on that one, Alison. Maybe that's because I've been working my own mountain photos for the last two days. :) Beautiful work!

My title is Winter on the Lake - https://fineartamerica.com/featured/winter-on-the-lake-sharon-popek.html

Sharon, you surprised me :o) Didn´t expect so much black in there - more blueish tones and white of course but it was a nice surprise :o)

My one´s called "An old cat"

https://hans-zimmer.pixels.com/featured/an-old-cat-hans-zimmer.html

Hahaha, really clever Hans, love it! :-) Not what I was expecting.

All of my titles are very descriptive so I might go with this one:

https://matthias-hauser.pixels.com/featured/orange-light-bulb-matthias-hauser.html

@ Alison -- I like thinking games, and this one, combined with artwork, should be fun.

I expected your Far and Away to be about distance, but thought there would be a paved road involved. That probably has a lot to do with my own love of photographing roads and highways. Still, your image is a scene I'd like to have outside my bedroom window. :-)

@Sharon -- Your Winter on the Lake is very different than expected. Of course I thought of water, but a frosty view of a solitary lake, under heavy grey skies is what played through my head. Instead, you've played with perspective and shadows, in an interesting way. Nice twist!

@Hans -- Wow! Not at all what I expected. However, I consider the subject of your 'An Old Cat' to be one of the world's great works of art, and a long time fave of mine. Very nice to see! :-)

@Matthias -- Almost exactly as I expected! :-)

Matthias, this was an easy one and quite foreseeable - a cool image nevertheless. Thanks for showing! very much enjoyed taking a look at it (perhaps i would have called it artificial moon lol ). If you rename and sell it i get 30% ;o) :o)))) lol

My next one is simply called "OUCH" :o))

https://hans-zimmer.pixels.com/featured/ouch-hans-zimmer.html

Thanks everyone for your wonderful reactions - i am delighted if i could give you a realy fine AHA moment :o)))

@Hans - Old Cat I did expect something different like an actual cat or maybe a musician. A nice surprise!

@Matthias - Orange Light Bulb - I did expect something more close up or selective color.

interesting idea and fun to participate in.

Here's mine - Ice portrait

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/ice-portrait-lake-wingra-madison-wisconsin-steven-ralser.html

I love coming up with the right title for the right image. Imo, no artwork is complete without the right title.

Here's a recent piece.

These Days - https://fineartamerica.com/featured/these-days-wendy-j-st-christopher.html

Steven, your Ice Portrait is just fantastic! Not at all as expected!

Steve and Wendy - thanks for your surprises :o) Both were far from what i expected to see :o) Funny game - really is!

Noone? Okay here´s my next title:

The red Tomato


https://hans-zimmer.pixels.com/featured/the-red-tomato-hans-zimmer.html

Here's one - "The Salad Bowl of the World"


https://fineartamerica.com/featured/salad-bowl-of-the-world-david-a-litman.html

https://david-litman.pixels.com/featured/salad-bowl-of-the-world-david-a-litman.html

I don't have many that lend to this game - but I'll try this one: Meet Cookie

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/meet-cookie-rd-erickson.html

@Hans- lol. "Anyone? Bueller? Is this thing on?" Your tomato image isn't showing up.

@david - I pictured a an actual salad bowl in my head with some sort of map in the background. I did not know Salinas was referred to as the "salad bowl of the world." Had I known that, I may have pictured something closer to your image, which is lovely. Between this and Hans' sallet image, I've learned two new things today. This is proving to be a fun and informative game!

@RD - I pictured a dog :)

Hahahaha again wonderful surprises - thank you all for that!

I fixed the tomato link - i hope

"Just Me And My Shadow"

Hans, The Red Tomato was exactly what I expected!

Fond memories from my early years! :-)

Thanks Andrea! As long as you're asking...here goes...

Big Salad

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/big-salad-alison-frank.html

I was envisioning a garden ready to pick and make into a big salad or a produce market. cute little thing though.

I think this game may teach us the importance of giving your images good titles.

mine "The Eye of God"

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/the-eye-of-god-denise-beverly.html

Cool image, Denise! Not what I was expecting.

I'm glad someone revived this game.

I call this one "Sorrow"

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/sorrow-mary-bedy.html

Andrea, thanks for bringing this back to live :o)

Alison, HAHAHAHAHA you cought me completely off guard :o))) You made my day :o)))) brilliant and completely unexpected.

Denise, i do not know what i expected but nothing like that - nice surprise.

Mary, i(!) see a smile between two big eyes - so yes, i was surprised :o)

I think i have a nice one to offer :o)

The family Gathering (those who already know please don´t spoil)
https://fineartamerica.com/featured/the-family-gathering-hans-zimmer.html

Nice one Hans. They don't look like my relatives LOL.

Thank you, Mary :o) Happy i could give you a good laugh :o)

Another one from me: "SPECIAL FORCES"

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/special-forces-hans-zimmer.html

Enjoy! :o)

Love your photo Hans. I was picturing something military related.

Here's one for me.
https://fineartamerica.com/featured/i-stand-alone-frani-smith.html

Glad to see this going again - thank you Alison and everyone else!
Funny thing the last several had in common for me - I, of course, picture what maybe I would title that way, and it is a nice surprise to see others' creativity! Coming up with titles, much less the perfect one, are not really easy!

Love all of the above! None are what I thought of!

One more from me...."Mr. Chips Photo Shoot"
https://fineartamerica.com/featured/mr-chips-photo-shoot-andrea-lazar.html

Mary, Thanks. not what I was thinking but I relate to finding those.

Hans Thanks, I was on the right track with family gathering but off on the type of family
oops should have known what to expect for special forces.

Frani pretty, i was wrong once again

Andrea nope wrong again, again. i miss my mr chips

Ok, I'll play...

"I Can't Work Like This"

Darin - I didn't know what to picture, so I went to look for it - I love this!
here is the link for anyone else who would like to see it - I don't know if this will work, but here goes -

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/i-cant-work-like-this-egret-and-coot-at-merced-national-wildlife-refuge-california-darin-volpe.html

Did the link not work? I didn't want to include the link text because I have descriptions as part of my titles and thought it would kind of give it away.

Here's a companion piece - let me know if this works any better:

LINK: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/arent-you-ready-yet-darin-volpe

Darin - for me, no link came up on the original, and I thought it would be a shame to miss it.

Here's another from me - "Portrait of Gretl" - which I know, could be many things to different people...

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/portrait-of-gretl-andrea-lazar.html

I am so sorry - no pic from me atm but i really wanted to let you all know HOW much i enjoyed your images. :o) Always lots of fun to get involved mentally into your creative titles.

*bumb*

I'll try this again in hopes that we get more traffic here.
