#3 Being Descriptive!!
Notice the vivacious pigments of radiant green, shimmering red and bits of orange dance across the sky like ballerinas in a ballet. The night sky looked as bright as the sun. Aurora Borealis or more commonly known as northern lights occur during the fall months. Although it is clearly night, the northern lights are as bright as day.It feels as cold as Alaska on a winter night. The crisp weather at this time is as cold as ice. If the moon is my heart, then the northern lights is my body and the earth is my soul. Depicted in the picture, the big dipper composed of eight brightly shining stars illuminate in the sky. In this perfect night, the sky is torn. This night sky can look as eerie as a ghost. Aurora Borealis is music to my ears because of it being silent as a an owl in flight. The plethora of trees stood aw struck watching the northern lights. The wind whispers like a tree in the breeze. The earth howls up into the sky and the northern lights respond with dancing with glee, while gently touching the earth. The darkness wraps it's arms around the moon. An ever so faint smell of rich deep uninhabited earth still remains.

Nice word choice. If you didn't have a picture, I could guess as to what you're talking about. I really enjoy the northern lights. Mad props for that

The words are almost too colorful, though. It's a winter scene in the very far north. I'd use words with a chillier feel to them. Maybe it isn't "music" , maybe "it's the steady beat of shifting ice"

You clearly have word choice down, maybe make a challenge and change the focus?
