"Universal Vision"

Well I am interested in analizing the ability of a title to help viewers understand what the photographer intended the print to be about. I only name my prints when I feel that it well help viewers to understand the concept that was intended. Thank you for your comments.

EXcellent, it reads well even from a thumbnail. Almost Persian motif. (are the black random spots intended too?
 
yes randon spots shooting off in different directions I like the print for it's beauty but, I was trying to see if anyone could find my inspiration for the picture that only a discription would allow. Can a short title give a hint that would cause the viewer to work hard to find the meaning I intended? It's has a deep (sorry to use that word) more intelectual meaning. It's like Bob Dylans song ISIS from Desire there is a wonderful idea behind the story, and he dosen't tell you what it is in fact he trys to hide it by calling the song "ISIS" the godess of fertility instead of calling it marriage which he later indicated.
 
The background reminds me of a reverse star field image. Is this what you were going for?
 
The print is beautiful. Your title to me means that like the universe, it is spreading out, widening and stretching out towards places that haven't been seen yet. We can't see the origin of it either in your photo or in real life. Or maybe I'm just having a flashback....Is that the Greatful Dead I hear playing?
Sometimes I have the same feeling as you that I want to put a title on a picture that will help viewers see the image in a different light.
I have quite a few negs from British infantry in India in 1917. My grandfather was a photographer. There is one of four guys on a truck with big smiles on their faces. I printed it and titled it "Cruisin -1917" I get a lot of comments on the print. People our age talk about it, and the people, and what they might have been doing almost 100 years ago. Young people my daughter's age (19) look at it and say "cool car" or "funny hats".
 
Sorry, the black spots are from digital spoting. Yes, ricksplace is on target. Maybe this is just too personal a print to interest others. I am interested in the aspects of our univerise. it is really too much for most people but I very often think about DEEP subjects in an unscientific style. I always saw the Queen Ann Lace as a gallixy of stars, and this print as a big bang of gallixies moving off into space. Yes I never learned to spell, but I would have hoped to be good at something like, oh maybe photographx.
 
Don't forget that the Theory of Relativity is almost one hundred years old (and incorrect) - yet for some people it still scares the crap out of them. The Universe is a very big word to use - Quantum is also very useful.

I like the image, though next time just use a marker pen to spot with - you're giving a bad name to digital...
 
Which one is incorrect? Special or general?
