Aurora, dark sky and snowy mountains go together

Very cool ! This almost looks like a scene from some far off distant planet. Love this scene and the cool colors. Grain detracts alot, especially in the lower third of the image although I like it in the aurora.

I wish you hadn't posted this in the forums prior to the challenge.

anyway... great capture of the northern lights, however the overall image is a bit tilted. It seems you may have enhanced the saturation, because the snow has greens and magentas in it as well. I also think a horizontal crop would lend well to the motion feeling of the aurora.

good luck in the challenge :)

Having never taken a picture of the aurora borealis, I cannot begin to think how difficult these are to photograph. I like the way the aurora streams across the night sky and its color. However, it looks like you had to use a faster ISO setting of 400-800 to capture this and it shows with excessive noise levels.

Nice capture of a frozen moment. The tight cropping really works well with this subject.
