I took this photo of Orion the Hunter as he rose over my backyard the other day, and then I did two different edits of him in Lightroom. I’m honestly not sure which one I like better. (This was a quickie shot taken on Ophelia, my phone.)

I’m leaning toward the second, because it’s darker and has a bit more contrast for the stars, which makes the Pleiades (the little cluster upper right) a bit more visible. What do y’all think?

      You’re probably right. The trees were a troubling part of this composition, given that I was taking the photo with my phone and its tiny sensor that is not great in low light.
