My first Aurora session. Used a LED flash light to light up the church, it has a colder temperatured light than normal flash light which I find to give to warm light.
PP:
Adjusted saturation. Clarified. High radius sharpen to increase contrast. Noise filtered.

STUNNING! I've never had the privilege of beholding this amazing gift of nature, but I never ever see enough of them in people's photography. Congratulations on an amazing photo!!
Why did this need validated?; well excellent photo. I've only seen the "Aurora Borealis" once in my life. I also like how the stars seem to pop through the green.
Wonderful scene, and good use of flash to bring out the foreground building. Yes, I suppose there's an 'S' in that aurora somewhere, but having just an 'S' isn't hitting the concept of this challenge IMO. If I understand this challenge correctly, it's supposed to be a leading line that takes the viewer thru the image, not just a letter 'S'.
Again, lovely image, and one to be proud of. Good luck.
First Impression:pleasant image
Presentation:basic as challenge calls for
What I Like:the aurora
What I don’t Like: the converging verticals, the building appears to be falling over.
IMO, Does it meet the Challenge : yes and no1 there is an S curve but it doesn,t actually lead the eye through the image.
Composition: I wuld have taken the image from a lower viewpoint shooting up to include more of the lighter colour.
Background : ok
Subject Placement: I would have made the church less prominent and the secondary subject to the S-curve.
Cropping:a bit too tight
Focus: excellent
Exposure:V good
Editing: not really applicable in Basic
Whoa......ribbon time!! Extremely nice image. Fantastic lighting. I love the angles of the church and how you can see thru the window. I love the Aurora Borealis, too. 10 from me.
