I'm entering this photo in a local art competition this summer, and I need to have a title for it. I am absolutely horrible at writing titles, so I thought I'd turn to my friends at 365! :)
Some info on the picture:
I shot it with 4x5 black and white film, in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was Fall, getting close to Winter time.
Thanks so much, guys! This really means a lot to me! :D
Stairway to heaven was my first idea, too.
Untitled is always nice ;).
Or: "The road not taken"
Or: "Going down the only road I've ever known"
Or just "Going down"...
None of these are very creative... maybe I'll come up with something better...
@allyssaallor The first thing I notice is the unnatural white of the railing, so I would name it something like "Wet Paint"
Also, and this is totally a personal observation, but your watermark is placed in a way that detracts me from the big picture of this photograph. My eyes follow the lines of the stairs down, then to the water, then around that curve where your name is, and then I just stop. I don't know if you can resize/re-place it, but I would suggest for a contest that it be smaller and off to the corner.
In less retarded news: there's a descent, a safety rail, but you can't see where it's going. So I'm getting vibes of "a safe descent into the unknown" but that's not very succinct...

Oh, I totally agree about the watermark. I actually put that on there when I was first starting to figure out how to actually do watermarks, so I didn't know what I was doing. XD I plan to take that off before I exhibit it, of course!
Thanks for all of your ideas, guys! They've been really helpful. :) I'll post what I finally decide!

SImply Riverside - sometimes I just give up and call it what it is roughly... Or a lot...

Cheers, and great shot!
