Overall very nice pictures
On the first one, the trees seem to be unsharp and overall, for a nightshot, very bright (overexposed?). If the trees where i bit darker, the sky would be stronger and the beautiful northernlights even more in the optical foreground.
The second one seem to me also to bright for a nightshot. I know, its difficult because of the snow who brightens everything up Overall, I like the composition
The third one is nice

The cause of softness in the pictures is a newbie mistake I forgote to turn off IS on the lense. It spoiled all images so I left only 'sharpest' ones. What about exposure so it was quite bright there white snow and full moon and looking on the camera screen I was sure that exposure was right. I even was using -0,3 to -1 EV compensation but add a little in post to make snow brighter. Grey snow just doesn't look good for me.

I got rid of the greyish snow and brightened the northern lights a bit...

Beautiful shots. Now that I see the whiter snow, I do like that version better.
Any more?

Maybe it's my monitor but now when i'm looking on both these images side by side my version looks too green and yours too blue.

On my monitor the the snow in the original [before] looks a bit gray, on the edit [after] the snow has a purple tint to it.

Forgot to add, my favorite of the set int he second shot. I like the lighting, it creates an interesting mood to the shot.
