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.

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'!

I came up blank, blank, blank, blank on THIS ONE.
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 ...
