Wow Alister--this one almost looks like another planet! Incredible rendition and should inspire many to look at B&W conversions. True enough your statement that color here would only add to the complicated composition. Love that middle mountain---it's so unusual looking.

I'm not sure the foreground adds a lot to the image and would favor a crop up from the bottom almost halfway, eliminating from the top tip of the sandbar and down, which would then make this a horizontal panoramic with a stronger diagonal formed by the falls-mountain-aurora elements. For me, seriously the fg distracts and weakens the composition. But either way this image is still powerful despite what I would do if it were mine.

Congratulations on a well deserved IOW!

Normally I don't enjoy it when my eyes wander around an image. perhaps searching for a visual anchor or the like.
But here the different elements in the scene make it a joy!
Fantastic, it almost feels like a fake, something someone has made up.
Don't think I'd want to see it in colour as others have mentioned.
Great work.
Cheers
Marshall

Love this one Alister. Well done on capturing this scene and this phenomenon in a fresh way (at least for me)
