Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

 

When I was browsing through the straight-off-the-camera images, I thought this one was pretty "meh".  But my wife picked it as her fave from the session.  Hmmm.  So when I was post-processing it, I took a better look and decided, yeah, you know, it was alright.  And less than 24 hours after posting it to Google+, it's become the most liked photo I've got there with the most +1s (Google+'s version of "like") by a long shot.  Now, the +1 count is influenced by the time, day of week, and communities to which you post.  Also, I've observed that how you title a photo greatly affects how people view it and respond to it.  And the title I gave this one was pretty good, and certainly apropos.  So I'm going to work harder for compelling titles whenever possible in the future.  But there's a much more important lesson here:  Listen to the woman.  She knows things about things.
