Would your vote have changed if I had titled my photo differently?

I just called it "Red red wine" because I didn't think the title was important - never entered photo contest you see.

But if I had named it "Where's tweety bird?" or as someone suggested "Traces of romance" would your vote have changed?

No, I don't think the title would have mattered. I think we are still looking at the quality of the photos no matter what the title says. That is why my picture with a catchy title can't do anything for the poor quality. I'm glad that it is that way though. We should be voting for the quality and interpretation of the topic.

Traces of Romance might make me lower my vote. ;) Sorry sorry!

A very cleverly thought out title may help in slightly raising your score, but I can't imagine voters giving too many marks just for a good title - maybe a good title is worth half a mark?

Looking at past challenges, the title certainly wasn't the reason for a photo winning ... it was the quality of the shot that was appreciated by the voters

3rd place for the macro challenge didn't even have a title

There's a difference between a DESCRIPTIVE and/or CUTE title and a INTROSPECTIVE title, I think. Often, if you don't look at the title, you'll have no idea what the photographer is insinuating. I personally would have given a higher mark if you had labeled it Traces of Romance--It interprets red as a color of love/emotion/etc. Red Red Wine, I imagine, reminds me of getting drunk and...

Er. You know.

So I'm getting the feeling it's not a big deal, but it might influence your vote by half a point either way depending on how it helps you interpret the photo. Interesting.
