Should a photograph have a title?

Not a good title. That gets into the territory of the picture ought to be telling the story. I don't need to point out to you that what you see here is an apple and a banana on a table with a nice lace cover.
Still lifes have no specific subjects, locations or animals that should have to be explained, unless they are truly unique pieces such as old jewelry or an antique grandfather clock. Then specific info about those pieces would work if included in the title.

What about Titles like "Still Life"; there's a lot of those.

A caption for a photograph typically offers a said context for it. Photojournalists follow this practice.
A title for a photograph typically identifies its subject -- for example, the name of an actor.
Or a title puts words to the photograph in tune with how it moves the photographer.
That's about the size of it.

Sorry, to me, sounds like what you are describing is not a 'title' but a 'caption'. Somebody enlighten me, my English sucks.

I have spoken to several photographers who swear that a good title will really help close the deal on a photo.A lot of photographers will tell you that a good title will really help a photo in a photo competition. So it really doesn't matter what you think, if it will help close the deal, that is all that it means.
