Thank you to all who left comments. Appreciate that in such a heavily dense challenge, you took the time all the same.

To respond to those who commented on the technical aspects of this image like the overblown lighting and focus, you are completely right of course if my intention was to take a nice poster shot or classically beautiful photograph. Well, to the detriment of my score, that wasn't my intention. I took this shot when I stumbled upon this passage way while in Paris. The city is well-known for its numerous passages and I'd never been to this one. So, I snapped a few and liked this particular one where I could pushed to make it look even more blown out because it conveyed a sense of passing through without really registering something or someone concretely - a feeling of really being in transient passage. In Paris, this is all the more the impression I get today as people hurry along in their own little world and in their own circles, not needing to stop, look, share or exchange because they feel like they're just passing through before going back to their own comfortable little worlds.

Don't know if that makes sense but I'm experimenting. So glad some of you did like it. :)

seems very washed out.

I like how the highlights at the top pushes the eye down into all activity of the mall. Not a fan of the border though. The sense of movement you're creating in your current entries is really cool. Great photo, keep up the good work!

Like this one a lot. The huge area that's blown out works really well here. The intense light fits the shot. Scene is a little muddled but still interesting. Well done.

Incredibly appealing to me and I'm not sure why.

just an opinion but stopping down might have helped here. Slightly better focus and less glare...unless that's what you were going for....
