Northern Lights near Mývatn, North Iceland. Making a nice curve against the curved road. Added contrast and darkened foreground, it was lit up by the lights. Some light sources removed from background.

You positioned yourself perfectly for this capture. The touch of light from the city in the distance is a plus. It is not only a beautiful picture it also tells a story. Congrats on the yellow.
The luminosity in the foreground and the dynamic range making it detailed while dark made this image for me. Quite the feat when the sky is so spectacular.
you have the most amazing skies in iceland .. if i lived there i dont think i'd ever get tired of photographing them ..
i can imagine you would get the most wonderful variations as well ..
congrats on the ribbon .. :)
This lovely aurora seems somehow wistful to me, arising as it does at the end of the road. The curved continuity of lines is very satisfying. The darkness, peaceful. The sheerness of the outer greens is lovely.
