 Another last minute entry. Yes, the composition could be better and it's not especially appealing to look at, but the idea was funny (at least to me).

Taken with a 420ex flash bounced off a reflector held above the scene to my right. Processing was minimal- crop, levels, USM and a slight saturation boost.

LOL- if you hadn't made me so darn self-conscious about having hands in my shots, my last entry (True Grit) would have had one, too. ;-P

Me too, but the hand gave it away. I was gonna say "Looks like a scalvert" during the challenge :D but I didn't vote.

Nice photo. You should have taken off the fork at the top since it destracts attention .

This can very true good choice. Nicely focused pictures fits the challenge, angle of shot covers the theme. Very simple and just the right amount of white balance.

This is a very creative take on the challenge.

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. I had to think about it for a moment. The title helps it along, but I think that the pic would have been better if I got the feeling right away of the dilema. Nice pic.
