The Road not Taken
Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
and sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
and looked down one as far as I could
to where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
and having perhaps the better claim
because it was grassy and wanted wear;
though as for that, the passing there
had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
in leaves no feet had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less travelled by,
and that has made all the difference.

I was expecting to see a picture like this. It kind of screams choice as opposed to INdecision as there seems to be no immediacy.

Finally a neat idea that doesn't involve US politics. This definitely meets the challenge. Nice greenery.

I see where you're going with this (pun intended), but it's missing something. There's a choice, but no one to make it. If you had a bicyclist stopped in the center or someone standing outside a car, then I think it would be a stronger representation of indecision. I'd also crop off the top 1/2 inch to minimize the bright sky.

it might be due to compression, but the sharpness needs improvement

Meets challenge full on, possibly rural...a motorway or main road junction would have had more impact, but well worth 8.

I like this concept, I too had the same idea, just didnt have time to pull it together, what I think would have made it better were a mode of transportation (i.e. car, bike etc) in the middle, if it were a car with both signals on appearing unsure of where to go. As it is now it looks more like "choices" than "indecision" to me, nice colors and focus though, 5. Mike

Nice, I was thinking of doing something like this. I like the colors and the lines. Mabe it could be inproved by zooming out or stepping back.

ok, this is a great place for a shot. what would have put this over the top? using a tripod and a timed release, with you in the picture, scratching your head...
