Deftly side-stepping the question of a need for a title in this forum, and what a title should be, I'll comment on the photo.
Looking past the processing I think that it could be a very interesting photograph. However, in my opinion, the processing
makes it out-of-place in this forum. It has become "art" and not "photography". I would like to see a straight-up black and
white version of the original, though.
As to the processing treatment, you've done a good job turning a photograph into art. If that's what the interest was in
this group, you might get some kudos. But that isn't the interest of this group.
I don't mean to say that photography is not a form of art. "Art", in the above context, is a manual creation rather than
a captured creation.
Tony: Your post is very valid and perhaps the image doesn't belong in this section, but this forum is called "Street & PJ". It might not be "PJ" but the subject of the image is "Street".
If it truly doesn't belong, I will re-post in a more appropriate area of Dgrin.

Here's the straight B & W you requested:
I wasn't suggesting that the photograph be moved to another forum. I was pointing out that it will probably not be seen as "Street" photography because of the post-processing treatment. The original photo will be, though.
