 My first submission so you tell me if this is a legit intrepretation of "Choices."
A buddy behind me was quite agitated by how close I was getting to this critter. I felt that I had at least 1 to 2 feet between me and the end of his strike zone. So I clicked away (choice #1). I also chose not to remove the blade of grass at the right of the photo. Had I done so I probably wouldn't be writing this.

I'd say you were TOO close right about Now!!!! Awesome shot. Glad I wasn't there. They scare me to death.

Good nature photo. I hope this was taken with a tele-photo lense.

Nice Photo, and a question 'some" would ask if this close. Me I would keep a safe distance.

"We all face many choices every day. Take a photo representing a choice that you must make."
I didn't see this as a clear image regarding choices.

Great shot. And my answer is...not very!

Not too close.

nice capture. I woild say that you should stop when it starts rattling. It wouls be neat with a bit of blur showing the rattle moving.

very nice picture (it gives me the shivers), but apart from the title it has little to do with the challenge.

now this is a matter of life & death

Very nice, scary, but nice! Love the green background, but the log (rock?) in the foreground would be nicer if it were a little sharper. You're braver than most of us.
