Trees in the night

For get-pushed challenge from Gerasimos Georg.
" to take a night shot of any theme you like without ANY post-processing just for a change."
@gerry13 Here is an offering -- I'm not overwhelmingly happy with it but thought I should post something before the week ended. I may try again tomorrow night. The hardest things about this have been: 1. enticing the camera to focus (finally I put it on manual focus and actually sort of liked the atmospheric nature of the slight blurriness) and 2. the white balance is awful because the outdoor light by the side of the house has a greenish cast (I guess I could have tried to set the white balance manually but I think I might just set the camera to take black and white tomorrow night.) and ...3. I did crop the picture. Does that count as post-processing in the context of your challenge?

Quite a challenge. It set me looking at your settings, and wondering what I would do. I think you chose a difficult subject.

@francoise hey mate :)Nice shot
1you could use a flashlight or something to help it autofocus or just do it manually although i m not sure about the light conditions
2yes you could use black n white,or take a couple of sample shots using different WB presets(flash,cloudy,etc) and see what fits better.
3.you can crop a shot even with the camera nowadays so i think it's ok
