I am commenting on this image in a reaction against the attempt by some to limit the content of DPC to images that conform to their idea of acceptable.
I like what you're trying to show here but, for me, this doesn't convey the idea of decision very well, even with the title. It does convey many things successfully however - the anguish of needing to self-harm in order to feel or control, the loneliness of others not knowing or understanding. In terms of the image itself, I find the colour balance a bit too red/ yellow. I also don't like the way the hand and razor are positioned over the drain - the shapes interfere with each other. The razor is too much in shadow to stand out as a focal point too. The brightest point is instead the drain behind. I like the personal viewpoint, it's clever to place the camera where the cutter's own eyes must be. |

| I think we have enought evil in the world without people taking pictures of it, or even suggesting something so horrible. |

| It's not a decision though, suicide is most often a cry for help, so while well shot and powerful, for me it doesn't so much suggest a decision, at least not from the perspective of individual going through it. |

| An interesting shot! Suggestion: try recomposing the photo next time to get rid of the grill in the background - it's a bit distracting. Keeping the background as featureless as possible will allow the viewer to focus on your subject. |

| I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. I see a way out of decision, nice photo though. |

| WHOA!!! this seems like maybe you are trying to put a reality check on someone, but I think this is a little harsh for a challenge. There isn't anything else you could have thought of for this challenge? There's a decision for you. |

| The composition could be more effective. I'm not a fan of the crop, or the hand/drain overlapping. The lighting is the best thing about it. |
