Virkilega vel útfærð norðurljósamynd. Skýin yfir vitanum finnst mér gera heilmikið fyrir myndina, því vitinn sker sig betur úr ljósunum með þennan dökka grunn á bakvið.

It's not fair from the Icelandic photographers to always come up with these cool Aurora pictures:). It is stunning (especially for people who have never seen it in real life yet).

One of my top picks of the challenge. A stunning scene, obviously, but also very well executed, and processed very nicely on the whole. My only slight niggle is the stars, which seem oversharpened. I find that this happens on downsizing with bicubic sharper when the larger image is already quite sharp. I sometimes find that this type of image needs a little different treatment when resizing for web.
You chose well on exposure, capturing detail in the auroras, as well as getting nice exposure on the foreground. It so easy to over-do these shots in post-processing, and you have avoided that; you've showed how it *should* be done.
Normally clouds detract from a scene like this, but in this case they are just a beautiful addition!
