I like this picture a lot. Stars in the aurora, colors and the composition it's like the aurora is starting between the two hills. Bravo!

I like the position of the colours in the sky. Nice balance and clear stars!

Roel, this has a fine, quiet elegance, with the aurora appearing like clouds. The stars showing is a great addition.

Roel,
I know you've shot this subject numerous times, as have others, but I really think it's your best. This is partly due to a more unsual structure that these lights had on the this night but much of it has to do with the shade of green that you chose to impart to these lights. These rich greens work beautifully with the dark blue/ black sky. It's really almost light an abstract. A splash of paint. I think you're on to something here and can probably continue with this new interpretation. Great job.
BTW, the first time I saw this and read the title I thought of your countryman's painting "The Scream".

Thanks for the comments all!
Igor, that's an interesting comparison, I had not thought of that. But I see what you mean! Oh, and I am not Norwegian, I'm actually a Dutch guy living in Sweden, occasionally making trips in Norway  .

WOW Roel,
This image is so very unique in every way. The splash of the green light is enchanting, yet haunting all at the same time. The framing is very nice with the forest anchoring the bottom, and the contrasts are just right.
Excellent work!!!!

Very effective aurora with stars rendition, I like the purple accents. Not sure about the single large green spot within the trees... if it were mine I'd probably clone that away. Great image!

I can see the ghost, but to me the most beautiful aspect of this image is the strong sense of the lights spreading out from a well-defined radiant. I remember seeing some spectacular auroras with just this "radiant" pattern just outside Tromsø many years ago, before digital, so my slides were completely useless.... your aurora pictures have more or less made up my mind of heading up there next winter (last time somebody else paid for it, as I was working up there, this time it will be on me...). Thanks for sharing!
