Wow, you asked for critique, but I see few if any. Best Buy looks like it is toppling over backward. You could have crunched and hurt your knees a bit more, but then Best Buy would have REALLY been toppling over! I'm impressed with the effect, if that is the cause of the contrast/lighting/darkness in corners, and enjoy seeing you more eye-to-eye with your subject than usual - I just believe more eye-to-eyeness could occur, if you want to try for real effects. Also, the stray person is bothersome, since they make me want to look off into the distance (Quick Thought Triggered: wait a second, this is commonplace in ancient Chinese landscape painting to suggest a path toward "heaven" or the "Western Paradise," I believe...) on the right, and have me curious... is there a Target over there like the one shopping plaza located north of here (where I'm at), or is it a Canadian equivalent (as it ought to be)... and do they sell chocolates there??? >.> OMG, and are east-coast Canadian stores's chocolates as big and amazing and awesome as West-Coast??? Hehehe. You've made me miss Vancouver now, eh. Okay, so a single image brings up this much. Back to critique:
Now, I'm unsure if the effect is causing the dizzying effect of Best Buy toppling over itself backward, or if it's the semi-"fisheye" effect of your lens of your phone's camera, OR if it could be something else... I don't wanna say it you can't make me!!!! *shuts up fast like a frightened child and tries to run*
In all, I do like it, very much, and it took a lot out of me to actually critique it without being rude - was I rude? I don't even know! Oh geeze, now I'm more scared. I talk too much! Laundry calls!

my Galaxy takes decent photos, but I'd never have tried to take an artistic shot on it.

Sadly, Canadian geese in front of an American big-box store is becoming an all-too-apt symbol of Canada...

Nice shot! I particularly like the vignetting.
