Well I think that a tittle is intimatly link to the art, if Picasso had called "Mona Lisa" , "lady with hands crossed"...it may not have been as impactful.
Photography is markteting...every things counts.
as for the Challenges well if I can't make the link between the Title and the Image, I consider that to be a weakness.

• Picasso never painted anything called 'Mona Lisa", daVinci, however, did.
• I agree, everything does count, yet if Photography was marketing, I wouldn't be looking at it.

Actually, DaVinci painted a photo called "La Giaconda" -- it aquired the other name later ...
... and since it was (probably) a commissioned portrait, "marketing" considerations were probably low on the priority list when deciding on the title anyway.
Somewhere I read that "La Giaconda" was the 16 year old bride of a nobleman, hence the self satisfied smile at the 'good catch'!
Don't know how true that may be, but it fits!
often my titles are my own interpretation of my shot. I understand that others may not see what I do but often there is little room ofr voters to consider this.
Titles can add a wonderful dimension to the interpretation of a shot. if the voter does not get it than they vote accordingly. It's a hit or miss kinda sitation. Not much anyone can do about it.
Well Eric, I do look closely at the photo, in fact, on your image "Secret Garden" I left a comment which you can look at to see what I felt on the matter.
as for titles, I still consider them part of the "whole" package.
Regarding my "mistake" on Monalisa...I do apologise....I was a bit to quick to post.
