Agree. If frost threatens or are otherwise in a hurry, At least half of the tops should be dying back naturally, then bend the remainder over and allow them to finish dying back before picking if the intention is to store them. I think the onions in the photos are not mature and are still growing judging by the healthy green tops.
You are sure growing beautiful onions though.
