The aurora itself in this is really, really nice; I like that it has more colors than the all-green ones of Iceland. Congrats on top 10!

WOW. What a great capture, story, and editing job. I was one of your 10s. I just LOVE the stars along with the aurora. What a way to spank your previous personal best score! Congrats!

Sharp - Nic colors. In this challenge it is of course difficult to tell if the Aurora actuall exist where you are, or if you added it in post editing. In any case - very nice!
