I didn't vote on this challenge because I didn't want to look at a lot of exactly what showed up. If I had voted, this would have gotten a very high mark.

Wow! They are almost magic, and certainly mysterious. Good fit for the challenge. Heard they are very difficult to photograph. 10!

Pretty capture, but overall a little underexposed.

I think I'd like this more if it were brighter, to give it a little more context. I also wonder how it would look taller, with more stars above the northern lights. 4.

Too dark for my laptop to handle well. I like the panorama composition. I love aurora shots, although some more PP could have made this better. (that being said, I'm not aurora PP expert). 5

Is that a star shot or just a weird green smudge?

5: A surreal feel but overall a bit too dark

Definitely one of Nature's best magic tricks.

Much too dark, could have gone with a longer exposure or brightened it up in post.

nice capture. I saw the lights on my way to work, but this was the one rare night I left my camera at home! :(
