I shot this photograph, and the moment I loaded in my computer, I knew what was to be done. I wanted this photo in all B&W, but thanks to the Saturation Slider, I liked this effect!

One of the best images entered in this challenge with ribbon potential, but I am sure some folks will vote it lower because of your title. "Go back?" probably would score better. High key look works well with this image.
Not crazy about image2 that have this high contrast look to them, although I do realize that some people do.....I think you are depending on your title to keep within the challenge description, and not letting your photograph do the talking for itself.
You did a nice job with the framing of the image, but for the most part it lacks detail in the dark areas.
Very appealing image. I don't think it represents a decision, although the decision on the artist's part to choose b&w or color is a nice abstract decision. For me the ribbon of red around the top of the rowboat really makes this image.
I think this could be blown up, and hung up on a wall, but I dont think you took full advantage of the challenge topic. Title takes me away from the point of the photo.
