The composition here adds a level of meaning to the picture. Not only are the two arrows in different directions, but one appears larger than the other, suggesting a greater "pull" toward one decision. It reminds me that sometimes a certain course of action may seem to be the obvious choice on the surface, but that it's necessary to look deeper.
I think it would better serve the concept to have the model standing, rather than lying down. In a standing position, he would look more active. You could even have him tentatively taking a step toward one of the arrows, or even just pondering them. However, the position he's in right now looks rather helpless, like he won't or can't make the decision.
Very good concept and well-executed.
