How to use this prompt

Aurora over ice needs a clear reflection on the frozen lake to double the sky. The 21:9 panoramic frame stretches the arc of the lights across the horizon. Green should dominate with purple as an accent. A distant tree line gives scale and prevents the scene from feeling like an empty sky. Keep stars visible but not overwhelming. Cracks or texture in the ice add foreground interest.

Variations to try

  • Aurora over mountain — peaks behind the lake for extra depth
  • Aurora with cabin — warm light from a small shelter for contrast
