I love the various colors in the sky! It just seems that since the sky is the focal point, there is too much ground in the frame. Maybe crop it so less ground shows? Cropping it would also help remove the two people in the bottom right corner. I know you can't go back to get that exact shot again, but in the future, maybe zoom in a little, this will remove some of the ground and give the sky more detail. You can also play around with the colors with different contrasts. More vivid tones would give the scene a more powerful aurora and pastel colors give it a serene feel. You can alter this with any photo-editting software... Hope this helped :)

Very nice picture, the colors are lovely. I think you catched the "evening situation" very well.

But here some tips for further improvement:
- As said before, a cropping to the upper part could be helpful to set the focus more on the sky.
- If you want to fill the picture with more life, you could have taken the picture with the two people or the birds of the background more in focus
- If you want to keep the calm mood but with more interesting detail, you could have set the log from the right in the focus.
- To get even brighter colors, you could have extended the exposure time a little bit.

But as said before, very nice picture, I like it :)

Great photo, I love the depth of interest in the sky; the colours are lovely. Perhaps the angle could be down a little so that there is more of the ground. You could crop the top of the photo to achieve this.

The colors in this are phenominal however the 2 people on the side would look better either a little more to the left or not in the composition other then that it is wonderful and I am very amazed
