Now that's a bad decision. I like the effect.

i like the entry and compositon, but too contrasty and it doesn't visually grab me with the image, I have to search for it. I mean, the blade almost blends into the reflections. I like it a lot, still, but it's hard to separate, at first glance, the real from reflection.

Risqué! Clever but hope it's not real! Well shot and captured the mood of drug taking perfectly.

I liked the blue toning of the picture, but I can't tell what the image is. It is very fuzzy.

Comment by bananashay:
Nicely composed, and the pretty coloring gives this a deceptively calm, relaxed feel. I can't tell, what are the circular objects in the background - reflections? Parts of the table?

Comment by Arcanist:
The choice to use a negative? blued image here eludes me. The expected powdery substance looks more granular or even blobish, the straw? is a blue form, but not well defined, however the razor is perfect and the sharpness of its blade accented greatly by the finishing technique. The other forms/patterns in teh image distract me, I want to know what they are, so I guess it has raised my interest level on an abstract level, it has not however made me consider the use of a keyword like decision. It invokes a sense of the fogged mind that a drug-user is confined by (or set free to roam in as you may choose), but I find no apparent link to a decision.

Perhaps here an image of offering someone the opportunity to be involved with this or the challenge to leave it behind would have better served to tell me of the decision, however to achieve the level of abstract art shown above, would have been much harder with that kind of a scene.

High marks for an abstract that leaves me wanting to return and ponder more, low score compared to other challenge entries that more overtly told me a story about decision. I can only offer a 4.

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. It actually confuses me. Interesting none the less.
