Yes. I admit I'm being unduly harsh to OP, but sometimes things remind me too much of me when I was dumb and young (now I'm dumb and old), and I react disproportionately. :/

Hallo,

I was thinking about the words "Drowned Thoughts" to become the title of this photo:



I think, showing this photo makes it more clear, the translation I want?

Thanks!

I don't see any water motifs in the picture, so "drowned" as an option seems even more pretentious.

Why would you want Japanese in the photo? There's nothing Japanese about it (except maybe the girl). The print of the dress is Chinese, the cut of the dress is not Japanese, the tattoo looks vaguely Maori or something (not to mention a tattoo in Japan means you are a gangster), the eye makeup is Chinese opera, etc...

You should make the title in English. That way people can actually read the title.

I really like the photo...but am not sure if the title matches it, in English or Japanese...

another unrequested opinion...gotta love forums.

I should have mentioned, but I agree. The photo is nice. I like the background. However, I am not too hot about the dress. It doesn't appear to be well-tailored. But that could be fixed.

Maybe make the hair a bit more taut.

But this is Japan Forum not Japan Fotography! ;)

It is the pose of the model, and her expression, that makes me thinking of the title, Drowned Thoughts, like she is in a sort of meditation with her thoughts..

And why Japanese...not for a special reason, except, because I like it to be that way......The idea is Asian with a Fantasy twist..:rolleyes:

Not to get overly philosophical, but the idea of "drowned thoughts" would mean the thoughts are essentially dead and buried.

Are you meaning she is drowning in her thoughts?

I think that is a good explanation!

In that case, 沈想 would be a pretty good choice.
