Dogwood in the Night

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

While pulling into my driveway one foggy night, I saw the streetlight across the road shinning through my dogwood. Even though I was a little late for dinner, I pulled out my tripod and made a few images of the tree and light.

Specific Feedback

I notice as I try to lighten the background fog, I get banding (I think that’s the term) in the left side of the image. I did try a little blur to see if that would help. Other ideas? This isn’t the highest resolution image, but even when I restarted on the larger file, it started to show up. So, thought I would ask for a little help before diving in again.
