Another title I just thought of is "As Your Shadow Fades Away"

Does that one sound any good for the picture?

And if you don't like any of my titles or think they don't suit the picture, I would be glad to hear some of yours.

Answer 1

Journey into the Unknown
She looks so unsure of where she is headed. It looks like it will be a long time before she finds out. It makes to destination so frightening because you don't know what it will bring.

Answer 2

Losing hope links in with the others. It's a long road, interminable road ahead, inevitably leading to oblivion(the guy ahead makes me think grim rieper), the girl is following the inevitable, predestined (empahsized by the tracks) path towards this olivion as we all must do, in these increasingly difficult times (hence the dark, sombre, and overcast environment) but she has ultimately lost hope in this journey of fate and is questioning her own purpose, and challenging her own independence to overcome the inevitable So, she's possibly losing hope in the purpose of her own existence but at the same time questioning if there is an alternative. Something like that. The picture examines the losing of hope in a topical context (difficult times) and as well as a more abstract, philosophical(fate, death, free-will, the afterlife) context.
Ultimately, becuase all the titles can be tied into this theme, I would opt for a more open-ended title, one which doesnt define the picture straight-off, then all the themes could really open up and interact, maybe 'Wrong side of the tracks'. I think that would introuduce her doubts, but leave much of the picture open to interpretation.
I'd be curious to know the source of the picture, the date and your own interpretation/intention.

Answer 3

Long Road Ahead doesn't exactly fit but it's the best of your choses, in my opinion. The first thing that I thought was that this couple's car broke down on their way home from the prom, a dance or some other event, the couple argued, and now the girl is attempting to walk home. The boyfriend is pictured in dark gray because he is not a "good" guy, kinda "shady". lol

Answer 4

I think this is absolutely beautiful. You have some talent! I like the title-Endless Dreams of a Life With You because the girl looks as if she really doesn't want to go with the other figure. She looks hesitant and the other figure looks dark and bleak. Awesome!

Answer 5

I would say "Long Road Ahead," because out of all of the titles you've listed, that one jumped out to me the most. The person is walking on the track, and the track keeps going on and on.

Answer 6

I love walk into Oblivion but that is just me I think they are all great but maybe you could do something about the color not change it but with the title. like the gray in me that is bad i know but you seem good at it hope this helps

Answer 7

The title needs to come from within the artist, only you know what you are trying to say. I do want to say the image is arresting, and I liked it. I usually don't care for a lot of Photoshopping, but this one is very good.

Answer 8

That is a really cool picture. I was going to pick one of your titles but I really think this one brings out the eeriness of the picture and the sense that they are wandering spirits on their way to their destinies. It's "Haunted Oblivion."

Answer 9

endless dreams of a life with you.
this was depressing to look at .obviously,she does'nt stand alone because her man is walking from oblivion of hopeless difficult times ahead in their endless life.look at her expression.there is no hope for two distant LIFE LOSERS on a railroad track.

Answer 10

Creepy pic, and any number of things can be going on here. It is clearly about her in the foreground with great detail, and not about him. She stands alone is true, but I like the more abstract "Losing Hope". She has that kind of look on her face, and that vague image of a man could symbolize hope.
