Feedback on my mall photos made me stop using flash entirely

A guy on Flickr told me my shots of the abandoned food court in the Westgate Mall looked like crime scene photos, so now I just bump up the ISO and lean on the natural light from those skylights, and the difference is night and day - anyone else get harsh critique that actually improved their dead mall photography?

Those Westgate Mall skylights are practically made for this... I still remember getting roasted in the '09 Flickr thread for my flash-brightened shots of the old Orange Julius stand. Honestly, that harsh feedback was the best thing that happened to my photos, even if it stung at the time.
