very pretty, meets the challenge. This is a good shot but not a great one. I like the sharper focus on the water droplets, but the rest of the blossom is too softly focused for my taste. 5

There's a wistfulness about this image that I love. Technically pretty good. The focus is not exact - maybe one stop smaller would fix that. Decision? no clue. Honestly don't believe a plant can make a decision. However, if I ignore the title (or my take on it) the decision was to blow the seeds away. Which works for me! Love the lighting - greatly enhances the image. 8 for now, may bump later... Good luck in the challenge!

Obscenely shallow DOF but an interesting take on the classic flower shot, nice original spin you've managed to put on an old classic. I like this a lot, 8 from me and good luck!

Interesting. IMO, a closer crop and/or a different color background would have really pushed this over the top for me.

Very unique. I'm sure the blur was intentional, but I find it very distracting. I'd like to see the original pic.

Takes a little imagination to see a decision, but I like it.
