The northern aurora's position seems to perfect to be real, as does the size of the moon. Great shot.

So gorgeous that I can't believe that all these components came together naturally. I'll guess this was SHOPPED.

I would say manipulated. But very well done

Not real but wonderful composite, title, composition, processing. I think the northern lights are, ah, to the north, but the moon never is ... at least in the northern hemisphere.

Very pretty. I think the moon was added or altered in PP. If you used a big zoom lens to make it look bigger, you wouldn't have gotten so many stars. Real or not it's a very pretty shot.

This is most likely fake as the warm moon does not appear to match the cool light to the scene. I think I'd like it better without the moon. Nice picture though !! (7)

Lots of celestial things happening in this, I don't think they're all real but since I don't live anywhere near being able to see the Northern Lights I can't say for sure.

cool idea, I wondering if you needed the moon

Lovely image, think the moon detracts though. Not sure if it was part of the original image or whether you added it as an additional layer?

Not real. The lighting angle on the church indicates a different time of the day.

Wow lovely.
