Kara H. doing an outstanding job on incorporating text into one of her images

Start with an image that has a strong concept (deeper meaning). Tweak the image as needed.

Decide what word is going to help provide visual as well as insightful information relevant to the concept of your photograph.
When selecting a word:
Avoid labeling (dog) and/or naming (Spot)
Try human emotions (fear), ideals (beauty), "isms" (Commercialism), and larger ideas (Preservation) or theories.

For example, The word Industrialism incorporated in an image of smoke stacks.
