It does seem like a structure to be proud of, but not to the sin extent, know what I mean? The ceiling sure has some interesting patterns going on. I like the blurred motion people, too. 7 Swash
A nice pic, but I don't see much of a connection with pride. Maybe if there was also a janitor sweeping a spotless floor... but this is really depicting a type of 'celebratory' pride, rather than a 'sinful' one - which is what the contest is all about. 4/10
could be better if your composition consisted of only a few of the wooden lower part, zoomed in closer to the flags and used a polariser as an anti-glare...try it again, you'll see. score-
Seems very over-exposed. I think that concentrating on the central area, rather than including the shop fronts would have made for a better composition.
The perspective is great. Was the exposure longer to allow for the light? I find the movement of the people distracting, but I understand why it's there.
