Captioning, titling, whatever is clearly your option to take, so by all means go for it and have fun in the process. I hoped you'd have noticed the compliment I tried to make.
I enjoy coming up with a title for a post, but sometimes wish it weren't required here. Individual images..... naah.
I very much liked where you were coming from. Looking forward to hearing from you on future posts

You may want to look into yourself and ask you why do I see it this way?

When I'm lucky, I get the right shot straight out of the camera. When I'm good, I edit photos to make them more appealing.
No such thing if you shoot raw.

Thats what you got out of that shot?
That says more about you than the photographer.
I think its a great shot.
The blue book - seemingly discarded in favor of the Mac - is what, for me, makes this image a powerful metaphor of our times. And I love the composition, especially the symmetry of the pillows, eight to a side, with the splayed legs forming a sort of compass point that focuses our attention on the center. As for the luck, I defer to Louis Pasteur: "Fortune favors the prepared mind."
Great job. Much fun. Thanks for the post.

How quickly can you spot an interesting composition? To me it seems to be a numbers game. If you take enough photos, you should be able to have a few keepers. However, spotting a scene that is subject to endless interpretations doesn't happen very often.
This photo is from a hotel library in Chennai, India, taken in 2018 using a Panasonic GX8 with a 12-66 mm lens. I had been walking the hotel grounds looking for exterior shots when I walked into a small room off the main pool. As I walked in I saw a father and daughter talking off to one side. I wanted to take a picture of the pool through the window when I noticed there was a young boy sitting on the couch. My first thought was that I could not take the picture without the approval of the father but then I realized that the boys face could not be seen. The composition jumped out at me. The pose of the boy with his face hidden by his computer screen seemed to be a metaphor for what is happening to kids in the modern world. Here we are, in a third world country with history and beauty all around, and our kids are shackled to an electronic gadget.
Upon returning home and processing this photo, I wanted to find a caption that would evoke the meaning of this shot. After considerable debate, I finally decided on "Go to your room!" I am interested in your thoughts on my composition, the meaning of the photo to you and what caption would you have used? All comments are appreciated.

When looking at the picture without downloading it, I see what your description indicates.
When I download it, my eye doesn't know where to land. Downloaded and large, it is very busy.
I see the Green leaf's of the trees in the window, the multi color pillows neatly arranged, the boy and computer all pulling at my eyes for attention.
Certainly an interesting image.

...”little boy on vacation”...
Totally agree. Since it was not posed it is a truly good photo.
