I just came across this image, and all I can say is, this is excellent. Beautiful.

I just came back by this one again. I commented during voting, gave you an 8, but never saw the original. When I voted I thought it was Iceland northern lights in the blue sky, but now I see it was gray clouds with lighter areas of thinner clouds and a drab looking dock. If I had taken that picture it never would have been seen by anyone else, but it's amazing what you did with it! I'm going to definitely work on my PP skills to try to get close. I'll start by learning what tonemapping is.
