Great expression, and the choice of colors and light works well. I like this shot.
..Coming back after the challege....
I can't believe this scored so low. The decision is clear, the shot well-composed, and the key elements of the photo highlighted well. Apparently that's just me though. Sorry about your undeserved placing.

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. I'm confused by the photo and the title. But it is a nice picture.

A look of contemplation. Perhaps a decision after all, YES. As I look more closely, I understand, he is wearing a dark blue bathrobe and deciding to wear the denim underwear or the blue plaid boxers! I see now that there is underwear hanging from the drawers as well, he is not after all sitting alone in a closet amongst all his clothing.

There are a number of elements here that almost led me to a 'weak-link-to-challenge' voting. The main subject (the underwear) is lost by being the same color as the more powerful and present bathrobe coloring, one of them has to change to prevent misunderstanding. I found the detail in the dresser to be lost mostly in shadows, though now that I know what I am looking at, can see it all clearly. The side lighting has hurt you by dropping shadows in all the worst places. This image needs a fill flash on the opposite side to bring more definition to the background and potentially give a solid separation to the underwear and robe. The redemption of the image is the look on his face. Had the model not been as expressive I surely would have overlooked the decision and passed by the objects of his decision as unfortunate clutter in the image. Bumping to a 5 on challenge and technicals.
