Re: Picture title, is it important?
If you enter national or international competitions it is unlikely that the judge(s) will be aware of the title initially. I recently watched a judge (international standard) judging our Camera Club Exhibition and he looked at each picture for about 1 second placing about 10% into a pile for further review but 90% rejected outright. He then went through the 10% and spent a little more time and gave awards to many of them. He only asked for the title very occassionally.
I also used to spend some time thinking of a title but now use the first thing I think of as I am not convinced that it makes much difference. If the subject is so subtle that it needs a title to explain it, then it will be lost in the speed of most judging.
As for mounting, it is better not to use bright colours that may detract from your photograph.
