Here is a northern lights image from Sitka, Alaska. I was not carrying any filters to help quiet down the harbor lights but I thought it turned out ok. Any c&c welcomed.

I think it's gorgeous! The ONLY thing I don't like is how the trees and harbor lights all look like they're about to fall in the water. I still think it looks awesome though.

I agree on the trees and lights. I have had the issue before with wide team portraits. It is nice to go wide but it does take away from image. Any idea on how folks deal with it? I used lens correction feature inside of PS and have been unable to manipulate it out manually. Same effect here but even more annoying.

Thanks you for the feedback and comments.

Thanks,
