Replying to Snowsenses, not NickL...sorry!
Stunning pic!
May I ask how much of it is Photoshop?
These days, the lines between photography and photoart are pretty blurred.
I have seen a mid-ground pic extracted and placed between a foreground and background to create
a "fully doctored" pic. The pic was pretty stunning, but for me its not photography. No offense meant. And
I apologize in advance if your pic is original.

It's post-processed in lightroom to bring out the colors & balance the highlights/shadows and such but nothing is added to it, like I actually drove out to Mt St Helens at 2am yesterday to see/take photos of the aurora & had to get a shot of the car while I was at it - car is real, aurora is real, car and aurora were both in those spots at the same time, it's not pieces of multiple pics mashed together. I did edit out a picnic table & the people at it to clean it up a bit though, not above doing that :-) Here are my non-car pics if interested
I've been using Photoshop as a hobby & job since I was like 11 but the idea of replacing a sky, or adding an aurora to a pic without one, etc, is -- people can do that and call it photo-art and that's fine or whatever but for me it's all about capturing what was really there so I can remember it forever, there's no integrity/meaning/specialness to it if you just do Edit > Sky Replacement > Amazing Sunset #10, or tell an AI to add an aurora. I'd do that for work if needed but never for myself

Nice! The colours are quite amazing. The composition is superb. I like that you left the white road line - it gives the picture a sense of scale and "grounds" it.. Most people would have edited it out, but you consciously left it in - well done.
snowsenses, absolutely stunning photo! Random but how's the Inspiration Series white interior holding up?
It's holding up great. I applied "GYEON Quartz LeatherShield" right after I got it, no issues after 10k miles since then. The dealer did leave an black ink spot on it from a pen when I took it in for an oil change, I got them to cover a white leather touchup kit but that was easy enough to fix.
I had a 64 Ford Galaxie XL 500 , buckets, white interior....what a PITA it was to keep clean on a regular use basis...kinda like a black car..you get wiser as U get older.
