Well, I guess you got me... and a bunch of others. I know you stated that 'most people won't be happy to hear this' about adding elements to your photograph that weren't there. I think I feel a bit let down that this is actually closer to digital art than photography. Is it a great image? Yes. Is it a great "Photograph"... ... ... ?

Aurora, dark sky and snowy mountains go together

I wish you hadn't posted this in the forums prior to the challenge.
We try to remain anonymous throughout the challenge.

anyway... great capture of the northern lights, however the overall image is a bit tilted. It seems you may have enhanced the saturation, because the snow has greens and magentas in it as well. I also think a horizontal crop would lend well to the motion feeling of the aurora.

good luck in the challenge :)

I think you were robbed on this shot. You should have scored much higher! I'd be interested in knowing your technique to get the different colors on each side.

I would like to see the challenge entries maintain \"photographic integrity\". Really neat that you can do this, but it transforms, imo, this photo too far to the Digital Art side.

Captivating, comical, yet serious too. Love the attitude in the Monster Dog!

I guess I wasn't around during this challenge.. and unfortunately missed this shot. Very well done, love the look on the child's face and especially in her eyes. the tight crop gives the impression of very little space inside the trunk, and makes the viewer wonder what is beyond - attempting to follow her stare. The antique/old fashioned feel is tremendous. Nice work!
