Here is one I shot as part of a timelapse and needed a night shot for our clubs challenge. Let me know what you think. Better or worse.

Beautiful. I’m usually not a fan of matting on a screen image but like how you picked up the Aurora colors in your mat. Thanks for sharing it.

That is quite nice. I'm not fond of the presentation, though.

Ditto. Thanks for posting. How about the technical details?

Nice photo. It's an eye grabber, but>>>>> Better or worse than what?

Not much on the mat but, boy, did you do a great job (and great timing) on the photo. Way to go.

Thank you all for your kind words, for better or worse. I did win the challenge BUT it was by default as no one else submitted a true night photo. there were a couple of low light photos, one ad copy from the 80's and a shot of ice taken in Iceland at 4 am but this is in the land of the midnight sun so it wasn't dark.
I was thoroughly impressed with the reactions to the digital matting. Almost all thought they were real mats until they, invited, came up and ran their fingers across the print and then the look on their faces was priceless. Then came the barrage of questions asking how it was done. As expected, some old dogs prefer to stay with old school techniques and claim this is not "real" photography. However, most wanted to learn more so they could master the technique. For myself I am looking forward to adding digital framing so my only cost is the print and backing board, no frames, glass or mats to inflate the cost. I have no illusions of making a fortune with this as so many now can't fathom buying a photo when they can take their own. (ROTFLMAO) But they will do fine for my home, cottage and travel trailer.

Mat and presentation are PERFECT.... Naysayers are wrong.... colors are presented and carried out perfectly in the matting and framing. Final product is always a combination of 3 variables; Image, matting, and framing. Each is as important as the others in the final presentation. You did a great job of complementing the image.
