I'm impressed by the composition, lighting, and sharpness of your nighttime photos. In this one, the mountains and town provide a beautiful setting, one that complements the main show in the sky without becoming the focal point.
While it is nature that puts on the dazzling display, it is up to the photographer to capture the moment the split second it occurs. You've done that brilliantly, and must be delighted with the results.
It must also be very exciting to actually be there... to see this magnificent display of nature as it happens.
To viewers who are familiar with this sort of photography, it may be just another photo of the aurora. To someone like me, who never gets to see this sort of thing, it's amazing.
Congratulations on your outstanding photography!
The aurora is amazing and you nailed the technical side of the photo - just the right exposure, sharpness and time, making the aurora crisp and colorful.
One thing is distracting me though, and that is the foreground / ground in general. It is very busy and there's lot of things going on. All those lights distract me a lot from the aurora itself. There are 2 places in particular - the red lights on the left and then the bottom right corner, where the branches or bushes are kind of blurry. I'm not sure why, but I'm still trying to figure out what is it in there instead of looking up.
I know aurora doesn't always play along when it comes to composition and it is hard to plan specifically what to include in the foreground as the aurora may appear on a completely different place ... in this case, maybe a bit of cloning out the biggest distractions would do wonders.
Nevertheless, the photo is still breathtaking, and you did a great job. I will be looking forward to seeing more from you.
