How to reconcile the title with the picture? That's what I'm wondering about. Without the title it'd be much easier to focus on the picture. Is there a hidden reference from the popular culture perhaps? Possibly about JB/JK?
That's why I've been insistent on the meaning of the bloody flag in another thread. I think that we should remember that this is an international forum and not everybody gets every obscure reference made.

Re. the photo, it is quite nice James.

I can totally identify with what you are saying. That is one reason I prefer to stay away from titles unless of course I can come up with one that does not confuse the audience. She was either a teacher or someone that is responsible for these children in some capacity who appeared to be on a field trip. In this case I thought any title would be better than none at all.

I was exploring with my camera and captured a candid smile and some shy expressions of the two boys. Those are the facts. I have been considering this particular technique of blurring the foreground or background with a number of images and using it in a manner that is completely opposite to deadpan. So now I am at a crossroad because I have been shooting wide open for a long while now and I am considering using much smaller apertures because I feel that images taken with smaller apertures would be more successful than bokeh the crap out of everything.

I honestly don't know if this answers your queries Cem but if you can think of a better title you are more than welcome to change it. BTW thank you for your comment on the image!
