During my last trip in Iceland, I was lucky enough to witness this stunning light show. Obviously the picture has been worked in PS to enhance the Aurora, in particular, I have blended the NL with a blue hour foreground, to preserve the details which were completely burnt in the original shot. =)
A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)
Just a heads up for anyone that may be interested (and as things are slow in the group.....).
This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.
I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

Maybe it's because I know but not having the horizon straight here throws me off completely. I know that hill in from of Kirkjufell is at a large slope so I may be one of the few that notices.
Great shot outside of that!
I've never been but i can tell too ...easy fix could also bump highlights and mid tones just a bit but great shot
Thank you for you comment! =) Just to be clear, we are talking about the road in front of the Kirkjufell? Because I think that the horizon in fairly straight!
The "left part" is like this also in the field, maybe you are talking about the wide lens distortion?
Kirkjufell is on a slant though, like if you look up the majority of photos from there. Again, I just know because I've been but most people probably wouldn't notice.
I think the version below is about straight. You can actually see that the horizon line you drew isn't acurate: On the left you can see the sky come through under your horizon, which obviously can't happen. But, apart from that, this is a great image. You could adjust the white balance for the foreground a bit to remove some of the blue cast, but that's really up to taste.

I like it as it is and what an amazing and dramatic scene.
