Very nice! The water texture reminds me of cotton candy. Like how the softness of the water contrasts with the hardness of the rocks.

Storm Coming

A good shot overall but doesn't project the message of storm coming. A little more contrast could have been interesting (I think).

The Little Pollinator

Very nice warm colours. Just find it too soft overall, including the interpretation on busy. It can be a pretty picture by itself once it's sharpened a tad more but not for this challenge.

Busy Colors

There seems to be a hint of some very nice textures and also colours but unfortunately these weren't presented to advantage. A little more adjustments in saturation or levels might have improved it. Another thing that doesn't help is the lack of a focal point. I'm not exactly sure where my eye is supposed to be drawn to. If all areas were equally sharp, this would not have been a problem but the blur on multiple spots makes it seem like there should be a focus somewhere which is not the case. Hope this helps.

Birds Flying

I don't know where the focus is nor what the subject is with this photo. Despite the title, I only see 2 dots that look vaguely like birds. The tree does nothing except confuse the viewer on the subject. There's a fair amount of noise in the sky and the light is really nothing great. Overall, it just looks like an accidental test shot that got submitted by mistake. Challenge-wise, it's way off. If you really wanted to show "busy" birds flying, capturing a whole flock would be better. If not possible, another idea would probably be better but only you can think of that. Sorry if this sounds harsh but it's meant to help as this was the lowest score I've given so far in this challenge.

Very nice. Not quite my idea of busy but why not. Bumping it up on another look - 8.

Great action shot. A little small to really appreciate its impact but guess not your fault. My only gripe - the blue border spoils it.

Poignant in the desperation conveyed. Love it. Doesn't belong in this challenge tho'. I understand what you're getting at but without the title, it wouldn't have crossed my mind at all.

2nd look and bumping it up anyway - 8.

'been busy all day....Take a break!

Would have liked to see better focus on "take a break". Otherwise, it's a good composition and idea.

A nice static postcare shot but the lack of human activity takes away what you're trying to convey as "busy".
