Taken on a hill right by where I live. The glow behind the trees is from the city and highway. Would have taken more time to get a much better shot but it was freezing.
*Editing steps*
Adjusted colors to very slightly bring out the purple color more (adjustment layer) behind the trees.

Aesthetic: I think its a great scene which needs bit more attention for better results.
Technical: Seems to be well exposed but the focus seems to be on softer side.
Challenge: Closer to challenge and the title passes the idea well :)
Conclusion: Overall this is average composition. It could have turned out much better if rule-of-thirds was followed. A little bit more of back-lighting would have given good silhoutte effect to bushes. Though I'm not too sure, but maybe 6x4 crop would have taken away extra negative space from top and bottom of frame.
I did not voted for this challenge but would have given around 5 to this one which is in-line with overall score. Considering this is just your second submission, you surely have potential :) Good-luck for future submissions!

This did give me a warm glow.
Only problem I had was that my eye wanted to either bring the tent down a touch to center or push it farther up offcenter. It was too close or not close enough for me.
