    Nice stuff Brian. Wondering if on #3 (my fave of the bunch if I had to pick) if you cropped out the furthest right quarter of the image to better place that lone tree on a focal line (rule of 3rds and all....) that you would still keep the more important portion of the aurora lights and have a better composed image....? Just a thought. Jealous that you get to see these often enough to shoot them.

    Thank you
    i tried to crop it but the crop introduced too much noise for me, but will remember the rule of 3rds next time :)
