Should I Go Around the River Bend?

Comment by Arcanist:
An image of the water flowing into nature. A nicely composed and cropped concept with good shadows and lighting that is interesting, but without it's title, I would not have thought to add a keyword of decision to this image. The link is there only from the caption and this is not enough. I cannot critique the image as it stands out with finesse and would even interest some to have as a wall hanging, but I cannot place this high against the entries that better told me a story or invoked the sense of decision. I offer a 4 on technical alone.

pretty but no obvious decision for me. The title helped a little but it still comes out weakly.

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. Nice photo, I like it.

It was hard for me to connect this photo with a decision. The title makes a connection, but without it there is no indication that there is a decision. Maybe a person peering around the bend in the river, or crossing the river would have been a nice touch.

Technically a nice shot....good exposure and sharpness. Certainly a nice looking dog, but IMO there's really nothing special or exciting about the photo. The lighting seems nice and even, but somewhat flat...no nice highlights or interest. I would also prefer the dog's head to be more in the right of the frame - a little less centered. He / she really looks like a nice companion, though, and I think it's a good fit for the challenge. Hopefully the "no pets no kids" crowd won't knock you too hard!
