Meaning life exists in the sunlight that shines on the frozen water.
Post challenge:
I didn't expect this image to meet the challenge in the literal sense so I'm not surprised at the score. It's all a matter of how you interpret "life" and my interpretation goes beyond bugs and birdies.
The Sun is vital for life on Earth so it is the only true component in life. Without it, everything would die.
Thanks to Jamie and a few select others who were able to think outside the box and see the true significance of this imagery.

The number of 1,2,3 and 4's are just ridiculous. It's a tremendous photo and very well shot. It certainly deserves a much higher score even if voters didn't see it as "life". I've seen so many shots shoehorned into a challenge that just because it was well done, got far higher than this.
Sorry, Jo but, it is a beautiful shot and you should put it proudly, right on the front page of your portfolio! :)
ETA: Perhaps, had you named it, "Life In Frozen Suspension", people might have gotten it??? ;)
I love the reflection of the sunlight on the icy water. I also like the contrast between the life of the trees and the death of the ice and yet, that the sunlight is what keeps life going. Quite deep! I so hope that other voters see all of this in this shot and not bypass these details!
Nice landscape, but I'm afraid that it will get voted down because people will think that it either does not fit the challenge or it's too much outside the box.
PS, I'm not voting on this challenge, just commenting on some pictures :)
