Noise reduction would help this picture...

This is a really cool shot if you could get rid of all the noise. There is abundant noise in the sky and even some in the snow. who'da thunk it? Maybe go with the lower ISO and a reduced exposure and probably you'd have got a ribbon for this challenge. This is absolutely amazing as a subject, but only pretty good as a photo in my opinion. 8

I'm very envious of you being able to photograph one of the greatest 'Light Shows' on Earth and do such a fine job. I’ll bet that some people think it to be ‘painted’. I grew up near San Francisco in Central California & I only saw the ‘Northern Lights’ about 5 or 6 times. I got to see them a few more times in Northern Idaho and used up every picture I had available. Your photos are wonderful. My entry in this challenge is a direct result of the comments left & PM’s to me from the Painting with Light challenge. I wanted to show the uninformed what it takes to get a photo. Sometimes they just don't see.
