Many of the regulars around here know I spend a lot of the autumn trying to come up with images that had busier than normal backgrounds to them - ones that left the environment in while still making the focal point stand out. Some worked...some didn't.
This is an image I took just the other day with the same thought process in mind. Again, I want to ask...is this too busy? Do you like the effect or do you prefer a more sterile and one-dimensional BG? I'd love to know your thoughts...

f7/1 @ 1/160th, ISO 200
Manual mode, pattern metering, AWB
Handheld, late afternoon sun
