Very unique and imaginative interpretation of the challenge. The decision has been made, but is left to the viewer to figure out what it was. Well done.
I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. But he does look pensive... a bit. I think he should be taking the decision of walking through the door. He's so close to doing what the title says though. I just don't see the action of decision.
This is a profound image of a common dilema faced by many everyday. You have put all the pieces into this drama as well as a Hollywood director might. One of my top ten picks and one I would not be surprised to see ribbon.
