Tuktoyaktuk Aurora by savillent

One continuing challenge in night photography is balancing several different light sources, each with a totally different colour and intensity. This usually comes down to either luck or skill, and the picture above shows some serious skill.
This picture is impressive since the aurora, starlight and light from the town all blend and mess together in a pleasing way. Nothing overpowers anything else, and the aurora subtly steals the show. The composition is superb, with the aurora running perfectly between the houses and the truck on the right blocking some harsh lights. What a wonderful image of winter in the north.
