Decision To Bear Hug

Comment by Arcanist:
Bear, polar, white, blue, ball, zoo, water, snow, reflection, humorous. These are the keywords that this image invokes when not tied to the title. It is a strong image even with the center-placed bear, but a thinner crop top to bottom may have brought a bit more interest to the whole and off-set the bear a bit more artistically. I love the detail in the sand/wall area, however the amount of space dedicated to this area directly vies for my attention which should be on the bear and its toy.

Some good marks for the technicals but such a stretch to the keyword of decision that I cannot place this image on the level of some other entries. I offer a 4.

Awwwwwww. . . .I love him!!!!! Makes me want to bear hug HIM!!!!! This is composed so great. I love the background and the foreground, and the blue ball draws you right to your subject. I have a definite soft spot for polar bears too, so this one gets a 10.

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. Nice pic.

Great shot. Super DOF, but it is a stretch for a "decision" challenge.
