Amazing sky. I find the red foreground too distracting and out of place though.

i like the sky and the aurora - but i am not a fan of the foreground - the lighting or processing seem to give this an artificial feel

I love the sky capture. I'm not understanding the unusual foreground colorization.

FG looks quite alien, & the northern lights as always look quite otherworldly. Nice combo of color/texture in this.
