I took this image of the northern lights over Iceland's Vesturnhorn Mountain during one of the best northern lights displays I've ever seen.

Grant,
This is at the top of my bucket list - I've never witnessed the Northern lights. Every image I've every seen of them just amazes me that this could even be real.
So, never having seen them, I can't really make a fair judgement on something like the green saturation here? But even so, the composition is outstanding, I really like the inclusion of the formations at the bottom and the snow capped mountains is just icing on the cake. Awesome!

Just great, great and great. On this forum such amazing images of northern lights have been posted, that it will be impossible to match the standard, if I ever get to take my own.

This one actually works better for me than your previous post, feels more coherent in my opinion. Very nice photo!

Amazing! an awesome display to go with your excellent composition. The level of brightness makes me think you must have had an intense moon as well.
