Hello from the Critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge

A very impressive aurora landscape. Your choice of viewpoint has made effective use of the mountain backdrop together with the beach foreground to create additional interest. The obvious crowning glory of your shot is the aurora itself a truly impressive spectacle that you have captured well. Its quite uncanny the way the aurora has mimicked the shape of the mountains. In any other challenge this would have won but you have a well deserved front page position.

Well done, thank you for your entry.

I've always wanted to see the Aurora Borealis. This is a very beautiful picture! I gave it an 8. Where was this taken?

This is really really nice, I've never seen the northern lights because I live where you never see them :-) you captured this extremely well and it is one of my favorites.
