It took me a while to understand what your shot is, a tree with moonlight thru it's branches and a cityscape in the background. Maybe lighten up the background just a bit to make it a little easier to understand.
This is conveying Opposites, how? What I see is a picture that doesn't give my eye somewhere to rest; there are three competing spots of light that don't seem related to one another. The moon part with the branches is actually rather interesting, but it gets lost in the larger picture.
The lights in this image, aside from the moon, aren't defined well enough to be interesting. A shot zoomed in on the moon through the leaves might have made for a better entry.
I feel pretty strongly that there's too much going on in the shot, between the blurred city light, the wide variety of silouttes in the foreground, and the stong cloud gradient to firmly establish any secure hold on the topic. Taken from the other side of the brush, this would have stood a far better chance.
This is a wonderful idea contrasting non human and human produced lighting. It certainly favors the moon. I would like this picture better if it had only contained the moonlit area. An 8.
I would really like to see this with none of the city lights...just the moon and the tree silhouette. However, the way it is, there is very little detail in the city lights and they are more of a distraction. I am finding it hard to focus on any one area.
