Not really happy with this shot, this is the second time this week I take a shot I had taken just in general and not specifically for a challenge and made it fit a challenge and I firmly think this will bomb... Anyway, if I had to put a label on myself as a specific type of photographer, it would be a landscape photographer so I just couldn´t sit this one out so if it bombs I will at least know I did my best considering the season.
Taken during the same trip as my shot in "dead end", went with andri and I wouldn´t be surprised to see one of his aurora shots here in this challenge too.
Anyway as for the PP it was taken in raw and developed with Rawshooter premium, then shadows/highlights and curves, once to increase contrast and another curve to darken the dark parts specifically and finally sharpened after resizing.
Edit after voting: Woohoo, I am VERY happy with this score even though I think this shot is overrated, I won´t complain :D
