290 seconds of winter night

A long-exposure experiment from this winter.
It was a full moon, scattered clouds, some wind and freezing cold, with a light dusting of snow on the ground.
The exposure time here is 290 seconds.
The strong light in the sky in the background are reflections from the town of Ålesund, far away in the distance out on the right side.

Awesome work, lovely colours! I presume that wasn`t tweaked in photoshop? If not, awesome capture!

@brown-dog: This was shot in RAW and processed using Rawshooter, then adjusted contrast and saturation using PaintShop Pro. Also removed some small bright spots resulting from me walking around inside the picture with a flashlight.
With these long exposure times you can actually walk around in front of the camera and still remain invisible in the final picture as long as you dont stay still for very long.
I tried to use the flashlight to light up parts of the terrain, but it did not have very much effect on the final picture, except when I was careless and turned the flashlight too much towards the camera, resulting in the unwanted bright spots that I had to clone out.
