How to use this prompt

The reflection doubles the aurora, so the lake must be perfectly still; any ripple breaks the ribbon effect. Green should dominate with purple as an accent; equal amounts look artificial. Pine silhouettes along the lower third anchor the image and provide scale. If the aurora looks like a solid green band, add "wispy ribbons" and lower CFG. Stars must be visible but subtle; too bright and they steal from the aurora. 16:9 captures the full arc of the sky. A touch of mist over the water adds mystery.

Variations to try

  • Cabin version: add a small lit cabin on the far shore for scale and warmth
  • Mountain version: replace the forest with snow-covered mountain peaks
