Thanks so much, Usman! It was an amazing event to see in person, for sure. I did virtually no editing to this photo (save for some contrast adjustments), which goes to show the natural beauty that is Iceland. Furthermore, despite the 30-sec exposure, there are virtually no star trails. In Seattle, where I live, you can only take an 8-sec exposure before you get trails. However, because Iceland is so close to the Arctic Circle, and therefore True North, you can get away with 30-sec exposures with minimal star trails -- something I had not anticipated but turned out to be a happy coincidence. Whether I win or not, I hope this inspires people to visit Iceland, see the Northern Lights in all their beauty, and take in the wonder that is Mother Nature.

Thank you all so much for your kind comments and congratulations. I've always wanted to win a BetterPhoto contest, and consider myself very lucky to have come out on top when the competition is always so very tough. If you ever get to see the Northern Lights (or Iceland), don't hesitate for a second!
