 From my trip to Japan.
Shot at Miyajima in Hiroshima prefecture.
Seen here is the famous red O-torii (Grand Gate) and Itsukushima Shrine in the foreground.
Miyajima is considered to be one of Japan's three most scenic places. I'm very fortunate to have relatives in Hiroshima and therefore have had the pleasure of visiting several times before.

With no net access during the whole trip (deliberately avoided) I had no idea what challenges were on this week, but I think this shot fits the theme of "busy" as it is a visually busy scene.
But hey, if voters disagree, that's ok. I just wanted to enter something because it's the only chance I have to get a Japan trip photo into a challenge. And I love this photo! :)

Blurred. Could have been a good shot.

The roofs are interesting but the blue with almost nothing visible and the out of focus leafs are too big fraction of the whole picture.

its a busy picture, but other than that nothing else is busy about it

Cool idea, but the blurry leaves in the bottom of the screen are distracting.

There is some odd looking blur at the top...I find it distracting.

If it were cropped tighter on the roofs then it would be busier and wouldn't have the distracting (but not really busy) out-of-focus foreground trees.

Nice busy composition that leads you to a definite focal point, good work.

Looks exactly the opposite to busy to me - really serene and peaceful!
