I know, that this is risky choosing such an painting-like photo, and that it get punished severely. But i like something about it. The city looks kind of hopeless, or depressed - hmm what ever, no one is going to notice that, after 10 milliseconds before clicking 1 or 2 ;)
Just played with heavily with some b/w parameters.

Thanks for alle the comments. Both the negative and positive. I'm not totally discouraged to try something similar another time. But i will consider taking a photo that needs less processing to achieve that.

I didn't vote, but I did do a double take on this because it was so different. I kind of like the uneasiness in the darkness in the foreground, with just enough detail to see that it is a city. Then, it's topped off with those clouds, which look like a chemistry processing error from the film and fluids days of photography. Cool stuff.
I'd take the average commenter core if I were you! A way under-appreciated image; one of those rare photos on DPC that means something more than a pretty picture.
Someone's gunning for a posthumous ribbon! Because I had to use the dictionary, you get the Alternative Blue... because this is like the grunge rock of the challenge. And once it catches on, eveyone will want to be like it and you will move on to more clasical photography because you are ahead of the times!
The extreme contrast and lack of detail remove some of the interest in this image. Overall, it looks somewhat abstract, and that does fit your theme as I interpret it.
I feel like your "aphotic" was reached by post processing not because the area is a naturally dark place. On its own merits without the title I would still feel like this was way over processed.
