This was shot in Banchiao, Taipei County, Taiwan. It is a public art located in the plaza beside the county government building and its original concept is "bamboo". In Taiwan, bamboo is a symbol of "promoting step by step", because bamboo is divided into sections and straight high into the sky.
However, I didn't treat it as a bamboo when I took the shot. I imagined it as some kind of spaceship ready for rocketing into the sky, so I made it more sci-fi look in post processing.

First impressions are that this is a great study in lines and geometry.
The HDR processing is good, and it works well. (I see you like the HDR look). The textures really show through. There is a little bit of noise in the sky that I'd prefer to have been dealt to.
Composition is good with great leading lines drawing us to the top of the tower.
I can't anything else to fault in the shot and the voters couldn't either with a solid 6.x score. Well done.

I like this quite a bit, particularly the choice of viewpoint and composition. I'm just a tiny bit put off by the rather intense post-processing. It does work pretty well for this image, however.
