"Determination"
like 'em all but 'determination' wins; the strong visage, the hunch of the shoulder.
I do like the idea of date and person - as well - so many ancient archive shots with great interest are reduced in value 'cos the museum simply cannot tell when where who why (Flickr Commons eg - loads of collections of 'a photo of the state building unknown author unknown date').
So also your own (the photog's) name may be a good idea.

There seems to be a lot of excellently creative people here. I so suck when it comes to titling prints. I would like to invite everyone to give me their input as far as a title for this print. Sure would appreciate the help, please & thank you.

If a photograph should stand on its own merit, which this one does, why bother with a title. The viewer can then let the image mean anything they want with no conflict.
I'm like the OP in this, naming or titling images is always exasperating at best. Recently I've decided that rather than a title I'll simply use the date and time that the image was exposed and the viewer can call it what they will.

I was going to make a couple of suggestions but I think what Ziggykor said is better.

Like I said "inconceivable" ---
as there is no one great camera...
there is no one great title for a picture, albeit,
people seem to think it is important to
put a name on " people" or " things".
I do not. Part of the problem in world today.
I have not fallen into that " think naming is
important " -- WHY
As many people as there are, a picture will
take on a different "name "; and so why put your
"picture" in a box.
If someone calls or labels you a " genius ", that
someone may be doing a disservice to you -- putting a
name on something tends to put limits on that person or
thing.
So my vote is that it is "inconceivable" to name it --
each viewer will
have a great name for it.... therefore do not burden your thoughts with naming it, unless you want to -- letting other people MENTALLY put a name on your photo is more far reaching, of course unless you the photographer or artist wants to name it -- but -- Be yourself and give it YOUR branding.
