 I submitted this photo into the Flowers challenge and it produced my best score so far.
I went to ahuge Poppy Field with my Daughter Holly as I thought it fitted in with the Challenge.
While I was there Holly was keep telling me to Hurry as She needed the toilet.
When I loaded the photo I didnt think the image wasnt anything outstanding, so in a humourous kind of way I thought I would mention about Holly needing a Pee ?
As it turns out I got some fantastic reviews about the photo, which is what I think your supposed to be voting on, but I also got plenty of stick about my Choice of Title
I now realise that the title of your photo is very important to the viewer.
If I had my choice again I would call this photo "CREAM OF THE CROP"
more to the point, WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT.
Please reply to this
Cheers.

With her long brown hair, the poppy field in The Wizard of Oz comes to mind.

How about just "Red"?
Sometimes really simple titles work very well. |

Titles are critical for some pictures--they give the viewers an essential clue about how to interpret the image. But your image does not need any clues--it can stand alone. But you gave it a very unfortunate title that led many viewers to a misinterpretation of what she was doing. Any of the titles that have been suggested would be fine.
BTW, I thought it was a wonderful image.

How did it give the viewers a misinterpretation? According to the photographer comments that's what she was doing.

| Personally I feel that the merits of the photo should be voted on, not the title. This is a Photography Challenge, not a Title Challenge :) |

Personally I disagree, The photo is presented as a package. The title conveys extra information desired by the photographer and is part of the pack. I have every right to let it affect my opinion or vote on this site. In this case I would've voted it higher for making me laugh. There's nothing wrong with a funny caption in the form of a title to prepare the piece of art for presentation. It's all about communication and reaction.
I like Scfalices idea but what you have already is perfect
