normally I shy away from this kind of thing, but i love the expanse of blue. brave. nice picture, but doesn't do much to address the challenge, IMHO. Still, great picture.
I don't 'feel' as thought the bird is making any decision. The photo, which although a very good one, doesn't depict the action of making a decision or request the veiwer to make a decision. The title helps to understand your perspective as the photographer (ie.. what is that bird thinking?) but I don't feel it in the photo. Actually decision making is difficult to depict in animals, their expressions are not as easily recongnizable as a humans. Just my opinion. Otherwise a very nice photo.
The tree is well represented in this pic, but the bird seems hard to see clearly. It is a hard photo to get a nice composition with. Maybe a zoom lens, if you didn't use one, would have helped.
Should I fly or should I walk. Should I have chosen to be a bird or a tree?
This is a bit of a stretch to meet the challenge I'm afraid. Interesting shot though, I like the long thin tree. A middle of the road 5 from me for the DNMC.
