Taken at the mall the other day:

ETA: I wasn't sure if this was too busy.

clever choice of title.. i think it would look better with more background blurr.. less busy.. lower iso and wider lens opening.. assuming u wanted to keep the motion blurred water..

its okay as it is thow..

Trog, thanks for your suggestions on this. I think you're right about the background...looking at it again right now, I wish that potted plant weren't there as well...I think that's part of what's making it busier for me too.

If we're listing things that we wish weren't there, I'd add the top of the garbage can.

Also, part of my problem with the background is that it's simply too bright, esp with the dark stone(?) of the fountain, drawing my eye right past the boats. . .

Lol...true about the garbage can. Thank you for your thoughts on this, I appreciate the feedback. :)

Emily

Err.. yeah Em, it's too busy. Not sure what I'm supposed to look at here :confused5:

Thanks GB...I'll have to try something different with this, I think. I'm sure they'll have the boats there for a little while. :)

Emily - you should be able to blur the back ground pretty easily in photo shop so you don't have to reshoot.
