But don't lighten it enough to kill the mood!

Fair enough. Better?

Post by: sdwilsonsct on December 10, 2016, 02:57:16 pm: Sure!

And by way of diversion, here's another from last night.

And the third version of the original post has just enough glow on the snow for me.

Agreed on both counts.

My thought, exactly. The first one was too dark. The one with the northern light is fantastic as it combines the sky/NL and a rural landscape.

Maybe because I am sitting in a dark room. Next sunrise here is around noon on January 2. :)
I agree it would need to be a lot brighter for a print.
Thanks for the feedback!

All the best,
