Greetings from the Critique Club!

Ahhh, the one who took my favorite Strength Shot! ;)

People Watching is a bad habit for some, a good habit for others and I think I know what you are going for here but it's hard to pull off in public places, getting that shot that combines all the elements you want when they are all random to start with. There is a lot of color and distracting elements in this shot. Maybe taking it to black and white or sepia would help with that point of the shot. Not sure what cropping you did but the woman on the right could be your focal as the one doing the watching, bring her into the shot more if possible? And a slightly tighter crop on the left taking out the two men, just leaving the women? The older one watching the younger one? If you do any tweaking to this shot I would love to see the results! Keep shooting, you're getting better every time!

Good Luck In Future Challenges!

Although this is a nice crisp shot, with interesting blurred movement, the composition is cluttered and has no particular center of interest. Keep taking pictures!

The distortion of people go nicely with a blend of colors

maybe a longer exposure of more people moving would have been better?

I think a worse habit is building dopey looking cars like the one in the back there. Hey, I'll bet that fat guy's looking for the outdoor vending... I wonder where it could be? It looks like the lines are too long for the indoor vending... where they only sell pizza and danishes.

Oh, yeah .... good photo.

If you could have caught one with all the people blurred from movement, I think I would have liked it more. And the woman in the lower-right unbalances the composition, I feel.

This is a very cool idea and a nice photo. Especially given the difficult lighting conditions here. I think the idea may have had more impact if you shot a larger crowd at this venue.

dubious habit connection.
