I like the composition and lighting (what and how many did you use for it?)

Well ... this is 3 shots I combined together so obviously shot with tripod.
The lighting was an LED light I have for riding at night in the bush, it's very bright. I forget exactly but it's around 500 lumen I think?
I used this to create the lighting I wanted on each section of brushes and took the shots before layering them in PS and masking through the bits I wanted.

thanks for the step by step

Nicely done, when I first looked at this I didn't spot the 3 shot approach. The light painting looks great too.

That's the real trick. To make it look as natural as possible. To create a result that reflects the conditions I wanted but didn't have.
Thanks Richard
