>>3186209Thanks for the challenge. Removing the drone was wasn't too tough with "content aware fill", but it left some slight dark haloing around where the drone used to be. So used d&b to make the transition seamless. Besides that I used every trick in the book to enhance the sense of depth. Great to see you again NatureGuy, I love your stuff.
>>3186222I would have never thought to add fake fisheye distortion, it exaggerates the depth and makes the shapes in the image more interesting. The only thing I would have done differently is leave just a tiny bit more space to the right of the dramatic northern lights curve. It's a little too close to the frame for my tastes. Just barely though. I can see why you cropped off the right as the land there isn't interesting. Perfect job on the contrast, sharpening, and white balance. Thanks for contributing.
