| I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. Good try, good pic, title helps too much. |

I am choosing here to ignore the title. This image, although not a top challenger due to finesse, busy elements (an overabundance of those white fluffies and lighting that is not very dramatic) has something that most other images lack completely. A level of symbolism that has told this viewer a story beyond the title and the intended communication.
I do not see paths to choose. Instead I see a child, walking away from the parent, approaching a wide open field with dandilions all about to blow away with the wind. There is a bridge in the distance, slightly out of focus which will lead the child further from the parent's protection and given enough time, he will reach the deep shadows of the unknown at the edge of the forest. This image is not about the paths he must choose. It is about the decision of the parent to let go. To allow the child to discover the world without the constant protection of the parent. Given a bit less distraction in the field and more dramatic lighting this image would make an excellent poster or motivational image on the symbolizm alone. Bumping up to a 6. |
