The column on the right doesn't ruin the shot at all. On the contrary, it balances out the column in the background toward the left. It also adds an interesting element to the photo's setting. The composition is excellent. The only thing I'd say is that it's a little dark--maybe set the ISO higher--and I'd prefer it without the blur. There's obviously a lot of movement in the image--no need to accentuate it with blur. Maybe crop down very slightly, to eliminate some of the empty black space, too. This is pretty compelling overall, though, and I'm thankful it doesn't look like so many of the other (cliched) photos on here.
