I really like this, bumping up to a 9.

I find the juxtaposition of the round colorful shapes next to the more squared off non-colorful shapes to be very interesting

Good visual comparison of the soft tree and the city building. I originally thought it oversharpened but it may just be the building's structure

I like the convergence of the office block and the tree, compliments each other

I like how the office lights behind the tree seem to become festive too.

Great contrast in this image with the decorated tree to the left, and the city skyscraper to the right, great balance.....

I didn't exactly love it at first, but, looking at it for a little while, I rather began to like it. Nice work.

Interesting contrast between tree and building.

I feel like they two gargantuan monoliths about to have a battle of the lights, haha. Nice perspective and cropping/composition.

I like the comparison of the city lights against the Christmas lights. Good exposure of both, which is sometimes difficult to do.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interesting perspective and like the luminosity of the christmas tree lights but it also seems to overwhelm the 'city' which is confined to a single building
  Photographer found comment helpful.

A clever idea, to see and depict the building as the city reciprocal of the Christmas tree. There aren't a lot of truly thoughtful and meaningful images in this challenge, but this is certainly one of them.

Nice shot. Title really conveys the message here and the contrast between tree and building is nice.

cool title, good capture of the lights

love the rounds of the tree against the squares of the building. now if only it had something to do with "life" per the challenge.

Composition is ok. The subject matter could have been better. The image quality is a little below average. - 4

Neat shot, I didn't get to see the town at night. We were visiting Chicago last week from Stl.

It's a nice shot, but there isn't a strong focal point. The building in the background does demonstrate "City" well though and is a nice contrast to the colourful tree.

Good use of perspective!
