Wanted to use higher ISO, but was a bit noisy. In retrospect, I could have used the built-in "night mode" that may have compensated for it, but have never tried manually!

Malls are boring.. ;-) Also maybe you should have used a faster shutter speed because some people are blurred. I know, slower shutter speeds give this nice effect of creating activitiy in a photo but this only works when there are more people... I also think it would have been better when you photographed just one of the levels. Currently it's hard for the viewer to decide where to look at on this photo. There are two photos in one ;-) The center shows boring concrete which devides the photo. Photo 5, Creativity 2, City Life 6 = 4
I like the arc the second floor makes, but beyond that nothing really catches my attention. It looks like the entire photo needs to be rotated just a couple of degrees clockwise (the Florsheim sign isn't straight). I like the long exposure time to give the people a blur -- maybe if you'd shot this at a busier time of day with an even slower shutter speed. Given it a sense of a lot of people scurrying about on their own separate quests.
I love the architecture, and the way your curve divides the shot. The only thing I don't like is the people in the shot .. I'd like to see it either with LOTS of people or with no people at all. The amount of people you have in the shot just kind of forces an attitude of "eh" ... that make sense?
Business doesn't look very booming. (Sunday morning at opening time?) Like so many sevens this week, I see nothing in this shot that appears technically wrong, nor do I see anything that would prompt me to view this shot again. (My shot this week is a bit boring too) Photo 8 City 6 total 7
Very nice! I really like the composition of this photo. the curved walkway works very nicely. You have a good eye to catch this and use it in your photo. I also really like the motion blur on the people in this shot. It adds a nice sense of 'life' to the photo. The lattice ceiling also offers some nice eye candy in this shot. The only MINOR detail I see in this photo that I don't like (and it does not detract from the score) is the bottom of the escalator showing in the lower right portion of the frame. It looks just slightly out of place. Good shot! = 8 - jmsetzler
Funny how they nearly all look the same. You could tell me that this was the Bellevue Square Mall in WA. and I would be inclined to believe it. Good exposure, nice color. Could be a bit sharpe. Maybe use a bit more unsharp mask in post processing?
LOL... small world that it is, I think I critiqued a picture taken in this same mall on PhotoSIG this morning (if you're Pete Nicholls, then I know I did). No worries, I don'r mark down for that. Nice capture and good lines, but there's a small bit of blur here that I find distracting.
