this is actually very good - nice lines and repeating shapes - and well processed to really emphasize the good stuff

As I said during voting, I think you did a great job composing this shot. But it is clear from all the comments (especially those that you decided not to mark helpful) that this image really needed more contrast in the foreground. Had you adjusted that contrast and added a bit more blacks in, this could easily have been on the front page or been a ribbon winner.

Even though this is a basic challenge, there is a lot of processing you could have done (curves, levels, etc.) that could have done to balance out the shot. I took a look at your histogram of the photo and the dark slider could have been pushed over to increase the blacks and really make the shot 'pop' - all available to you in basic. If you want, I can show you the steps I used to adjust the image and the final results so you can compare for yourself.

People provided you some valuable and useful feedback and it is just a bit unfortunate that you didn't see it as helpful. Cheers.
