Very neat image. I think it conveys the message... 10 for you...

Interesting. In my opinion I think the blur is a little much. I see the idea you were going for but it just doesn't captivate me much.

Nice shot. I get the "let the wind decide" idea but I imagine the theme police are killing you. Great comp and clarity

Comment by Arcanist:
Technically and artistically a strong image that could become a wall hanging. That said, a dandelion has no thought process and I find it hard to personify a flower in the manner you are trying to promote the image on. Without the title, this would be keyworded with flower, white, dandelion, seed, floating, but not decision. Strong interest, artistic approach, great detail in a macro with a moving secondary object, but I cannot place this in the ranks of the images that invoked the story of the decision. I can only offer a 4.

Great shot. But although I can't see any dicision I will not rate this shot low because this is a wonderful shot, well composed, sharp with great lighting and good use of DOF. Excellent.

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. However, I like the title you gave it, it symbolizes what is going on. This is an exception in my scoring, i'd normally give this a five or a four, but the title means so much to me. This photo was scored like a painting ( you created the meaning and the image ). I love this picture! I absolutely love it.

I guess I get the decision, but that isn't really that imporant for this challenge I don't think. I love the shot though, not sure why, maybe the contrastiness, the clarity, or the recognition of something we all have seen. Well taken!

Comment by Evaan:
The lighting is very nice, and the sharpness of the stem is nice, but, most of the photo is not as sharp as I'd like. Also, in my opinion, this does not meet the challenge.
