Wow, that is a pretty dense aurora borealis. Ironically it seems to be mimicking the ocean below breaking like waves accross the starry sky. Ocasionaly there is a break in the waves to show the 'sandy' starry night sky. Love the addition of the lighthouse to the composition for it adds visual interest and acts as a dividing line separating sky and sea. Very well captured and composed.

Very nice, great colours all over. I like the little strips of red against all the overwhelming green! It's good that you can also see the starts in the background as well, nice touch.

Wow! This is something special for sure. A little bit more sky would have been better for me though. It feels a little bit cramped at the top. The snow/ice or whatever it is is truly spectacular.

Cool scene. To take this to a 10, I think I would have placed the straight ice line to one side instead of sort of down the center of the frame. Crop about 1/4 of the right side of the photo and you have the island at a rule of thirds spot and the line 1/3 of the way into the frame. Would be more dynamic and less just off-center. Love the colors and the wide-angle! Great shot.
