Well composed frame with good DOF and color. The whitewater being overexposed, though helping the squirrel stand out, is large and distracting to the rest of the image.

EVEN THOUGH you did IMO use the title to more or less "shoe horn" this photo into the challenge, I'm scoring it as a (7) based on the shot itself which I like, and especially the humor factor... made me chuckle!

Not that I include titles in my voting, but you choosed a rather poor one for this beautiful photo. To me the squirrel is obviously making up his mind what to do next.
As long as I can make out if a decision is in progress or already being made, the photo meets the challenge to my opinion. I'll give you an 8. Really enjoyed your photo.

Wow!!!! I wish I was there! What a beautiful scene! I can almost hear the rushing, deafening water! The squirrel looks a little over exposed, but I just love your picture anyway!!!!!

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. The title gives the idea, but the photo doesn't. Nice pic, cute squirrel. Extra points.

Nice try but I'm not buying it :p Doesn't really fit the challenge

There're a lot of suicide shots in this challenge but squirrel suicide? Beautiful photo, I can see why you wanted to enter it in something! I really like this and it pains me to vote it down, but 5.

its a nice picture... squirrels are much too happy a creature to be suicidal though :p

funny... but I feel like the decision should be clear without having to read the title. In this case, it isn't, so even though it's a nice picture in its own right, I don't think it meets the challenge well...

Decision? What is the decision? Cool pic, but it seems like a desperate entry.

Cool image but too much reliance on the title.
