 This challenge was perfect for me because my youngest son Nathan always gives me a hard time about decisions. He always makes this face, and it was perfect to take this photo.

A very cute picture. The boy looked like he was trying to make a decision, but we couldn't tell what the subject of his decision-making was.

I think it covers the decision process if not a decision in itself.

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. I see a child who appears pensive at first, but the smile causes the feeling to go away. It seems like he is up to something devilish.

I really like this. "Can I get away with this, or not?" There's definitely some decision-making going on here, and I think you've captured it well.

Well. What is the subject? Very good color and focus and lighting.

With or without the title this image stands out as one of the archetypal decision making poses. It is well lit, cropped and post processed although a bit too smooth on the skin, cheeks which lends to a plasticy feel to this viewer. A strong contender on challenge link and technicals, I offer a 9.
