aaah!

I hate the lighting in this, I think the moon was too strong and it gives that "Daylight" feeling to the lagoon.  

But, I like the streak of Aurora :) :D

Stars on a bright sky look indeed funny. On the other hand, this could make a great poster for the Green Bay Packers. :mrgreen:
A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

:-) I'm struggling to like ti too :-)

But, in some way it is also very alluring! I like it more cropped from the top to get rid of the cloud in the top right corner, then the streak flows into the top right corner of the frame.

Probably make a nice BW, but then the aurora would look like a cloud.

I like the aurora -- a bit of additional processing can enhance the nighttime appearance. In PS, duplicate the image layer, then set blend to multiply for the second layer, finally adjusting brightness downward just a bit. I also like Alister's suggestion to have the aurora arc exit near the top right corner.

I find this quite striking and different than the usual Aurora shot.

Well it did allow for some good definition in the cubes and the lagoon. Cool shot!@

I think this is great. I might darken it a bit more.
