Nice but the horizon is crooked. 7

You need to rotate your canvas to level your waterline.

Photo is crooked. What a beautful sky!!!! Wish I could have been there!!!

I like the tressa and plants along the left side.

The green is nice, but the tilted horizon is really distracting. Other than that, it's good. Maybe the colors are a little flat too. I know it's night photography, and I'm not very experienced in it, but I think that the is too much gray. Maybe? I don't know. Something isn't sitting right with me about it, though.

The leaning of the horizon works badly for this photo, you should have had this a little darker, it's like too long shutter speed maybe. Aurora is great to experience and fun to photograph.

Last I heard, Aurora was not a month. The colour of the aurora is nice, but the whole photo is green, which is not so nice. Also the horizon is badly titled to the left.

I wish i could see this. Nice pic, maybe horizon could be a bit more level.6

Aurora is not a month...
Its a good photo to start with but i feel you could have made it a llot better with some post processing. For starteds your horizon line is not even, and the bright light in the lower left could have been taken out... also levels would really help with the contrast and make the aurora really pop out against a darker sky.

I would have rotated the photo to have the horizon line straiht
11/09/2004 07:54:09 PM
Forgot the month, but I will figure it is Nov, great month.
11/09/2004 07:42:29 PM
needs level horizon 7
11/09/2004 06:58:06 PM
horizon horribly tilted. Nice Aurora though. Which month?
11/09/2004 04:32:14 PM
Why the tiled horizon?
11/09/2004 09:46:26 AM
your horizon is tilted, nice shot otherwise.
11/09/2004 07:06:59 AM
Not at all a bad shot so don´t get me wrong. The tiltet horizon though spoils it a bit and it´s taken with a slightly too long shutter time, to get the best results try to keep it as short as possible because otherwise it gets very smudgy, like in this shot. Great setting for an Aurora Borealis shot though, better luck next time. 7

A difficult long-exposure shot by the looks. The horizon angle is a huge distraction unfortunately.
11/09/2004 12:14:42 AM
Interesting, but sloping horizon seems distracting.
11/08/2004 10:55:42 PM
eeps - straighten the horizon -
11/08/2004 06:36:54 PM
But...what month?
11/08/2004 03:58:44 PM
Oops, you should have titled the picture with the Calendar month. This doesn't meet the challenge but it is an excellent shot. I'll give you 7 for the shot alone, nice one. (PS you might also like to straighten the horizon..)
11/08/2004 03:46:08 PM
I know you've likely heard this more than a few times, but... "Your photo title should be the month to which your photo belongs." No idea what month you're going for... Aside from that it's a nice image. I love the color... The horizon seems a bit sloped... But that's just me, and what do I know? :)
11/08/2004 01:26:13 PM
What Month?
11/08/2004 12:59:12 PM
level the land, I'm slipping
11/08/2004 04:06:58 AM
