Ionization, yes. Fire, no. Now maybe a RED aurora...

Interesting idea. Nice shot.

I think the moon is a little blured and thought the sun was the fire in the sky? I do like the composition of the picture though, gives a good feeling of space. As for fire? not sure it meets the challenge.

Truly beautiful photo but I'm afraid it doesn't meet the challenge in my opinion so i can't give you a high score

What good fortune - or perhaps more an example of persistence and patience on your part. A lovely diagonal wave of northern lights hanging over the city - with the moon in a perfect spot. I like the stars peeking through. Would make a lovely poster. Wish there was a bit more contrast between the green and the night sky. 9

Great idea for this challenge. If you select just the sky you could brighten the aurora 20-30% or so and apply some noise reduction to it and you could make a much more dramatic sky without washing out the nice city lights below.

Beautiful shot, just comes alive with light and the aurora borealis. Excellent composition and sharpness. 9

Great panaramic shot, wish you could have gotten it a little clearer though.

You really cannot take the northern lights against so much ground light...need to be away from civilization to do it properly. Just enough of it shows for me to get the idea, but the city lights are so bright they really distract me totally.

The northern lights are not bright enogh (at least for my monitor) didn't see them at first. Iceland?

Overexposed on the city part of the photo. Nice idea.

Something I'd love to see myself. The city looks like a string of jewels beneath the sky. Beautifully composed.

It may be my monitor, but I didn't notice anything in the sky area besides the moon., and possible a greenish glow toward the right hand side. Was this Northern Lights?
