I love the composition and colours. good that not too much land was included as the focus is the sky, just enough land to get the reflections in the water. Bonus is that some stars came through and the exposure wasnt too long as to give star trails.

Without zooming in, the noise levels seem fine, but have noticed chromatic aberration around the lights and some stars. not sure if this is down to the camera or movement, and isnt a show stopper. just a note <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>

One other note, that is probably quite anal, is that the hill on the left is light and for some may distract the eye from the central mountain and aurora.
