Light Painting - Teepee

First of all, i am sorry. I posted this photo in the Nature thread, but i think it was the wrong place for it. I am looking forward to read some comments, ideas and ways to make the photo better, so i think the "Critique Corner" is the right place for the photo.

A little bit about the photo:
The other day, while jogging in the forest, i found this Teepee (i think it was built by Boyscouts). I thought it would be cool to light paint it, so i went back and got this photo:

(surelly mostly my fault, not the monitor's!! )

Overall, I think it's pretty nice. The only two things that jump out at me as far as criticisms are that you've cut off the light rings on the right hand tree (you mentioned the small tree in front of it, but I don't think that's a big deal) and the sky is looking really purple. I think it's just chromatic aberration, but it's tough to say for sure without seeing a higher-res version. Could be white balance.

i thought a couple of times about making that sky darker (i have several photos that were taken a bit later with much darker, almost black, skies...). Is that sky distracting?

what happens to the TP tree at the top - it looks mostly transparent ?!

awesome shot. nice work

Hmmm, sorry, i don't see what you mean? Here in my screen the tree looks ok...
Can you see through the tree?

Thanks! =)

Perhaps it's just me.

The biggest tree (lit yellow in the teepee) where it is lit blue above - looks like bits of sky showing through - perhaps these are just leaves lit brightly (can't see much detail at this size), but to me it looks like it is transparent!

Ah, yes, i see what you mean. Those are some leaves that are also lit. In a bigger version of the photo you can see it well, but here i can understand how it can look like it is the sky...

Thanks, it was something i wouldn't have noticed on my own!
