    No tittle and no jot, either?


    This is an example of a photo where "No title" is appropriate if the
    submitter doesn't want to choose a more specific title.

    I think he's talking about a caption giving some context.

    As for the image, I like the DOF.

    It was a joking reference to the bible verse that says "For verily I say
    unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no
    wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

    Rather than quote it here, I'll direct you to a page that explains what a "jot"
    and a "tittle" is: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/jot-or-tittle.html

    At one time, my newsgroups sig line was: "Provider of jots and tittles". It
    was a way of saying that I provide small and insignificant comments. I stopped
    using it because it gave false impression that I am a religious sort.

    No, just a joking reference to the typo in the title.

    It's one of those images that I wouldn't normally comment on. It has
    no problems, but no particular interest either. But, since you ask...

    On the plus side, the depth of field is good and the processing is very
    good. On the minus side, the subject is doing something but I can't
    tell what she's doing. Rinsing a coffee stain out of her scarf?

    If the girl was just sitting there, I wouldn't be concerned about her
    pose. As it is, nothing about her has been captured. What has been
    captured is an activity, but an unknown activity. It seems incomplete.

    I think part of the problem is , the thing she's so involved in - is blown.

    I can't make out what she's holding on my monitor.

    It's a piece of her scarf, she's examining it.

    Its is a very white scarf and according to my histogram it is not blown,but I will look closer at this.

    Thanks

    The composition is exceptionally good, Mole. The angle of her body and the curve of the cistern make a complete diagonal that cuts the in-focus foreground away from the out-of-focus background. Her scarf isn't "blown;" it's "smooth." Good shooting. Bravo!
