This is a nice idea, but would be significantly better if the two roads were in focus and the person was out of focus. It would also help if you burned the edges of the left path, and maybe waited for some clouds to come along to make the sky more dramtic. Another idea that might also make this more interesting is if you applied a slight radial blur that zoomed in towards the person. Just a few ideas.

In theory, this is nice; however, it really doesn't work well with this crop/composition. The focus is all on the area of sweatshirt hood; which dominates the frame; the true focus should be on the paths behind, and they should at least be intentionally obscured, and not randomly darkened or lightened. perhaps a crop along shoulder level, or a little less contrast would work here.

nice concept nice range of values. Might have liked the figure to be less imposing and a little farther away. Nice idea for challenge

The concept is illustrated well.

Nice photo. I like that it is in B&W, it dosn't take away from the roads, or the decission.

Good idea, would be even better with a non-burnt sky.

Awesome...that's a great intersection and a very clever implementation. Very cool.

Aha, the dilemma shot. The composition just doesnt' grab me for some reason. Perhaps because of the two different perspectives created by each road. I don't know, though, what would be a better way to shoot this scene.

You have captured the decision well. I like the grayscale here. The heart of them matter is "Which one?". Color is secondary.
