Love is in the stars - The Big Dipper

Greetings from the Critique Club...

COMPOSITION... I love this photo, and am a big sucker for night shots in general. The fact that the aurora was faint and not at the angle you would have like does not distract from the beauty at all. The leaning shed takes up the appropriate amount of space, allowing a huge amount of clear sky. The big dipper takes a backseat to the aurora as well it should.

TECHNIQUE... This is a wonderfully captured night shot. The shed has enough light so as not be be dark, but not so much that it distracts from the scene.

OVERALL.. You have met the challenge nicely, and the photo itself is nicely done. The expanse of sky is very dramatic, the aurora shows up well and the stars are wonderful. I am sorry this critique is not more detailed. There is really nothing I would change, nothing you could have done to improve this photograph. I gave it a 10 during voting.
