Well... unfortunately the first thing that caught my eye was the jagged, pixely lines of the lights. But when I really looked at it and tried to imagine it without the jagged lines... I realized this would probably be a glorious photo. The kind that, as MaryO mentioned down below, makes your jaw drop because it's so inexplicably fantastic. Wonderful!
Only now I notice the jagged line.
I think the problem is with the resize software. When I shoot and post this photo, I was actually at oversea and don't have Photoshop with me. I have to use the hotel's PC to resize this shot and summit it before the due date. The only software available in the hotel's PC is Microsoft Office Photo Editor or something like that. I couldn't even do any curve. All I did was just rotate and resize.
Anyway, I'm glad that you guys like it :)

My personal second highest score. Thanks for the great comment.
This shot was taken at Marina Park, Singapore. The exact location is just next to the Starbucks under the bridge. I didn't purposely shot this for the challenge, as I was just taking some "tourist" photos. Only after viewing this shot on my camera LCD, I decided to enter into this challenge.
I was sort of prejudiced against this photo because I saw in past Architecture challenges how popular the bridge photos were -- yet everytime I look at this I like it more and more. Love the gray tones, subdued colors and the symmetrical, abstract quality.
This is one of those shots that makes my jaw drop. The shapes are striking even before my brain interprets all that I'm seeing, and then I'm amazed at the symmetry. Perfect POV, absolutely perfect. Just enough detail on the exposure. Slight noisiness but I don't care. I'm in awe of all the things done so very well.
