Positive: Interesting photo, no major technical issues I can spot.
Negatives to be aware of:
It seems likely at least one person in that photo would be extremely upset if a photo of them was posted on the Internet. And with rampant AI, this image may well get tagged by face recognition software somewhere.
You were waving either a decent phone or camera around in front of strangers, close to you, at night - I hope you were taking significant precautions against it being snatched
On 1. ironically, or in some sort act of negative karma, this Sunday I was loudly abused by a lady accusing me of having taken many photos of her, and “Stop or or I’ll go to the police” - made particularly weird by the fact I deliberately avoid taking photos of people or their dogs when out doing nature photography.
I actually pre-emptively contacted the police myself, just in case any report was made and for some reason the police took it seriously.
Does that happen to you often? I live in Montréal, a place thag looks a lot like this, and small women can walk alone at night even in quieter places without much worry. I don’t think this person’s camera was in that much danger of being snatched in a busy area like this.
Regrading 1st: I guess it would be a start to not upload the high resolution original image but a low res/high compression version instead. Faces lose a lot of detail really quick which makes them less susceptible to automated image scans. Still, not unloading photos with faces from persons that did not consent at all would be preferred.

Depends on location - my comment was prompted by remembering https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c20vlpwrzwdo It’s not happened to me personally.
It also sounds like the OP is fully aware of the issue, so great!
Yeah i thought about that a lot, still dont have a solution for it :/
Had the camera on a strap and i wasnt alone, i probably would not attempt such pics out alone.
