Wow, so much chatter in my thread! Most importantly, thank you for your feedback, I do appreciate the comments. 
Could see where you are coming from, and I do agree, but I decided to frame both MBS and Shenton Way together as I felt that MBS is very much part of the skyline.
Yeah, it's kinda 'flat' in a way. I did that as the sky was already quite dark when I shot it, and so did quite a bid of shadow recovery in post. Perhaps should have also inreased contrast.
Thank you! Yeap, the foam party should be on every night.
Thanks! Had to thank the rain for that shot too!
Thanks, glad it worked for you! I still have much to learn though, do check out the other threads here, there are many who are much better than me!

Oh dear, is it my processing? I shot this angle because I wanted the reflection inside too...

Compo wise, I dont think it work even with the vertical fixed as shooting wide and too close, everything seems distorted...
Even you have include the pavement line leading to the archi, it does not applies here. The image is unbalance, too heavy on the right and the line makes it even heavier. Even the reflection is not complete either...
The processing, I reckon you want to increase the dynamic range but here, it becomes cartoon-ish...
Funny to say that....ha ha...i started off with HDR and extreme processing done till it turns into cartoon-ish..guess age is catching up and seeing things differently...

Haha, I guess my more recent shots have been influenced by Jonathan Danker and his very saturated colours! Yeap, I did push quite a bit of shadows for this shot, so I guess it could do with a little more contrast and less saturation. Guess the previous angle (the one where the temple is right in the centre), is better. But, haha, it seems that the Getty people liked it! They just messaged me for the full-res shots of both angles.

Getty seems to be quite lax after opening up to Flickr actually, I know stock agencies used to be quite particular about details being present, I am open minded about the image but I am quite surprised that they don't seem to be as stringent on such things as I thought stock agencies would be. After all, extreme saturation does destroy details in the image, especially when seen large.
By the way, the lowest level doors are brighter than the higher parts of the temple. I would personally prefer to even out the exposure there.

Yeap, the Getty submission via Flickr is pretty lax...I tried submitting some shots to iStock and the were quite stringent about cropping and resizing. Anyway, it helps cover some of the cost, so why not? Haha!
Ah yeah, realised that the temple is unevenly lighted now that you've mentioned it.

Thanks mate! This was shot right outside Iluma's Macs, so I got quite a lot of funny looks! Gotta thank Azrin for this angle though, haha!

Haha, thanks! Glad it worked for ya. Nope, they are not curving inwards - guess it's an optical illusion! Anyway, there's a small pano mismatch somewhere in the shot that I can't seem to rectify, oh well.
