The terrace of a hotel bar/restaurant during blue hour, I had shot the lit area to the right of the frame during sunset which was the final shoot of the day, but couldn't resist the lighting from the tree here. 3 bracketed images manually blended using luminosity masks. In retrospect I would have liked more time for staging and to find a better composition. Removed a lot of leaves from the floor on the left of frame using frequency separation, which was made difficult by the light reflections, a seat back was down which I missed whilst there, so fixed that and I would like to have turned off the big flood light behind camera from the left. Partial sky replacement with one of my own for the pink clouds which were right for this time after sunset.
