Zahid, thanks for the wonderful explanation of your image and title. It is nice to hear how your thought process evolved for the title. When I saw the title along with the photo it truly evoked a deeper feeling within me. Amazing how powerful some simple things can be!!

Zahid, this photo is great and to me, your explanation below of the title makes it even better. It makes sense to me, and the cool, subdued colors make the concept all the more vivid!

Thanks Denise for understanding and appreciating the image. The title is certainly interesting and it has to be so as it is dealing with a symbol ( Lit candle ) of human life. Thus, the image is portraying human lifecycle ... desires, gloom, romance and process of departure. Hence, I took full one day to coin a suitable title.The same included "The Show is Over", Comedy of Life", "Not the End", "Fading Moments", "The True Story", etc.At the end, I fell for "An Affair to Remember". I feel it justifies the very nature of the theme of the image... but may be I am wrong in my assumption.
