### After challenge ###
Well this is my 3 best in DPC and I never thought that would happen with this image. It started with 5.9 and was around 6.1 for a long time.
Sorry for the auroras but I like them and there are not many days that there are auroras here in Iceland.

One of the better Aurora pictures I have seen in a while. I really like depth of the different hills, the nice lines and great use of the frame. Wonderful picture. Highly rated.
Personally I would have wanted to see the sky darker but the rest of the shot processed like you did. Also that stone in the lower left part I feel is kindof blocking the view, couldn´t you have moved a bit to the left to get more of the water reflection? Anyway, Rauðhólar are always beautiful and this is a very good shot, voted it a 7.
Okay I could start this off with "I have seen better". That would be mean, but the truth. All the while I wanna have my shot at this and itll probly turn out worse... anyways my 2 cents now im broke.
