Hawaiian Trees at Night

I found I liked the potential in these trees at twilight.
Way cool branches & color in the sky between the leaves.
The wind was blowing fairly strong so getting anything was a challange in the low light.
In small moments the wind would scale down.
These 2 photos are straight out of the camera.
I worked the effort over two nights looking for a maybe shot.
Comments and critiques are welcome.

Glad to have em'. When you say Spectacular & Stunning how could
I not? WOW!
Skippy, your forgiven. Just keep telling it the way you see it.
The lighting was from Tiki torches. Way better than any flash could have
done for the effort.
Thanks, Michael
being outstanding in themselves. The torches gave off a yellow orange cast
and I stayed with auto white balance for camera setting. How do you color correct for torches? I think the camera did good for what was there.
Michael
Shoot a frame of a neutral gray page and use that as a frame for a custom white balance,perhaps?
Interesting "outside of the box" lighting solution

To me, these pics are appealing because of their abstract, organic quality. I wouldn't worry much about getting the white balance correct here. In fact, I would feel free to completely alter the color if that gave a more pleasing image.
Cheers,

A good suggestion.
To be honest it never crossed my mind to use fill flash. A reshoot is not
possible as we were on vacation at this site. Plus, I think had I used flash
I would likely have lost the quality of the color as Richard has mentioned.
In another effort like this I will have to remember to break the flash out
and see what happens.
Thanks, Michael
