Well, with your title, I can assume that you meant that with the spiders multiple eyes, he appears to be looking all different ways. Which could give the impression that he's 'deciding' which way to go? Without the titled I would look at it and say 'nice macro of a spider' without any connection to the challenge what so ever. I don't think that a photo should only meet the challenge because of the title, so while this is a good shot, I may have rated it low due to not meeting the challenge well.
Ok, that being said. Nice macro! lol
Focus is very nice, creepy looking spider. I might have preffered a bit more DOF to show more detail in more of the spider.
I like the angle and framing/cropping.
What is it standing on? Almost looks like he's trying to swim in milk or something. The background is odd and the upper left corner being so blurred is a bit of a distraction.
Overall the image is neat, something I deffinately don't see every day. Thank goodness.

That's a really good pic of a spider even if an incredibly tenuous link to the challenge. The eyes !!!! Scary. Good DOF & exposure with that very bright background.

I'm sure people have been commenting on how without the title there is not decision. With the title though, I love the idea, and it's a nice picture. I love the color of the spiders eyes.

I hate spiders! How he's lost in the depth of field is beautiful. It's a antithesis since the spider is butt ugly but the you make it look so good. I have it as my wallpaper. Those eyes are just beautiful! 10

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. Great macro though, I love it.

Decision = Spider? Lost me. The title is the only link I can make to a decision in the whole. As an image the capture is nice and sharp on the subject but the dof has had the unfortunate effect of making the left side seem way overexposed. I like the grainyness and texture, but feel the centered positioning of the spider also detracts from the whole. I can only offer a 3 compared to other images that have shared their story of decision in a more obvious manner.
