HERE is a photo that I used here a while back for a challenge. This photo had two problems. 1 - my title was not understood and 2 - Even with the title, it was hard to relate my theme to the title.

How would YOU name THIS photo effectively as you see it? This is not a critique session and nothing will be added to or removed from the photo. What you see is what you get :)

Let's have some excercises in creative naming... post some links to your own if you like!

I would just call it "Die".

Double meaning, blood red in the glass.

Diced Tea

Thanks for starting this John; I've thought we should have a "name that photo" challenge, or maybe a "modify that photo" challenge, where everyone starts with the same frame, and is free to crop/adjust/title as they see fit...

Dicing with Death.

My own favourite title is probably Football is Massive in England, commonly referred to as 'Big Football Woman'!

What would YOU have titled it?

My first thought on seeing this was American TV Channel, which I see from the comments is NBC. So with that in mind ...

As I sit here wearing an NBC t-shirt, I naturally think of the NBC Peacock. The colours, the shape, the angle, they all match the logo on my shirt fairly well.

NBC Logos Scroll to the bottom logo and you will see what I mean. So, there could be some play on words with NBC. In my head, I keep hearing the three tones N-B-C that they use to play when the logo was shown. I guess that I am showing my age.

I like the idea of bringing "chance" into the title.

I was trying to go somewhere with a nickname for dice. I would probably have named it something like "Bones" or "5 Bones" or something.
