Nice, peaceful picture. It doesn't exactly give "busy" as the dominant impression, and that will probably hurt your score. The greens are good, but the water is very muted. I don't know, it's a nice picture, maybe too peaceful for the "busy" challenge ?? (6)

A nice play on words with the title but the photo itself doesn't convey busy to me. It has a more serenity feeling to it and is rather peaceful to look at when you take into everyday life (in the city that is). The birds being in the center make it more storey like rather then leading into the photo. Perhaps following the RoT's would have added a little sometihng to this photo. I also find the focus to be a little soft on the birds and the grass in the forground to be a lot more crisper. A polariler here would have taken the glare off the water a little bit and added a little more character to it as well. By this I mean the photo wouldn't have looked so washed because of the water (white glare against the white birds). I also think I would prefered to see the bird on the left cropped out which could have also added a slightly nicer shore line as the grass would have lead you into the birds and conveyed your message a little more clearly. It also would have allowed you to expand or at least change your dimentions for a slightly taller photo without changing the actual photo size. Increasing the photo size without altering the photo (is legal in basic editing, altering the photo by stretching it is not) would have made the photo more cosmetically pleasing and filled the screen a little more. I bet your gonna lose marks (score/points) by having an almost panaramic look to. Anyways to sum it up I tihnk it is an interesting photo and probably given it a score between 4 or 5 depending on where or when during my voting I saw it. Good luck in this challenge. <5>

You had the right idea. Maybe just a little too close in my opinion.
