FireTree

[Pete]

Went out for some night photography tonight. This was the only photo of the shoot that was in any way acceptable for me.

It was difficult to frame up in such a way that I could get rid of the blown highlights in the left side. In the end, I applied a lens-baby filter to accentuate the mystery of the backlit tree.

Comments/criticism is welcome.

Second shot looks great. Almost looks as if it was hazy / smokey.

I really like the shots.. Especially the second one but the lights on the left are too bright can you burn them a bit?

Many thanks for the comments. Yeah, I want to dodge out the bright lights, but I need more Photoshop skills first. Or I can be lazy and just go back to the same spot and avoid them somehow.
