Greetings from the Critique Club :)
I am honored to be able to critique this photo.
Composition
This is a wonderfully composed with the barn anchoring the image and the way it appears that the Aurora is shooting out of the roof almost as if it is on fire. The Aurora is not just a background for the barn; they seem entwined.
The first time I saw this photo I noticed the fact that the barn leaning left bothered me. But your horizon is straight, so that must just be how the barn is.
Tonal range is excellent and the consistent lighting across the foreground adds much to this dramatic photo. The processing of the blue sky, green Aurora and orange city lights is very well done. I can assume they were not this complimentary to each other right out of the camera.
Nit Picky:
The stars appear oversharpend. From a distance they blend in nicely. At closer distance, on a monitor, they appear to be separate from the sky, as if placed on top of the image. They are not integrated into the sky. But a minor distraction.
Congratulations on a great photo and a great score with a ribbon.
Feel free to contact me via the PM system.

| I'm always a sucker for Northern Lights shots, no matter how many times I see them. And judging from how often they show up on the front page of the site, I guess I'm not alone! |

| Awesome shot. Normally I'm not a fan of overly "smooth" shots, but this works well. I also love how the Aurora seems to be escaping from the shack. -8 |
