I'm actually often at a loss to title my
photos ! I think for 99% of them, I'd rather
not put a title at all, although it would
feel a bit "cold" and certainly
wouldn't help referring to a particular shot
! I was actually thinking for a while about
creating a new group (to be called
"Title Me !" for instance) where
people would submit their photos for toher
members to suggest titles. I thought it could
be a fun way for people to look and try to
catch the essence / feeling / mood / etc.
that a photo carries , instead of the
"usual" commenting (or worst,
voting !) that so many groups use. I think
that most groups on Flickr are mere
"storage box" which no one really
browse, while "commenting/voting"
groups (with exceptions like CAFE) are mostly
here to flatter our egos and/or
self-promotion. This could be an alternative
way to look at others' photos, and be
creative at the same time ?
I excuse you in your problem of titling such
a photo, even I can't find words to describe
your great work.. The feelings your photo
conveyed to me are very complicated:
- The jump itself says that life is too
short.. - The jumping shadow of the girl reflects a
mood of liveliness.. - While the broken floor is the pain we
suffer in life; and it says that what's done
is done.. - The little deflections in the lines says
that things don't always go the way we like..

Fabulous shot, Hugo, and perfect title! I like your humorous approach to titling your photos, always spot on.

on the other hand is this more subtle than "Angel on a board". i can't decide.

Great photo. The shadow tells the story, while the main subject becomes secondary. Very creative composition.
