Your next step is to get a source of illumination for the tree that comes at it from the side.
The advantage of using a black back ground is when the subject of the photo is illuminated. The camera will automatically focus on the strongest source of light, in this case the tree, and in doing so really deepens the black of the back ground. If you want this to really work you need to move the tree more forward away from the black background, this causes the subject to really pop and the background to really deepen. As it is now I can still see the detail of in the black material. You need the depth of field to be shortened to eliminate the detail in the background.I could get the truck off to the side and turn the headlights on?

I think you are right. The modern concept of ramifying Junipers makes for Junipers that look like the owner has no clue about compacting the foileage. I am a proponent of pinching and I know there are people that say I am ruining Junipers by doing this. Understanding that I have not fooled around with domestic Junipers like this one the concept of pinching and cutting back may indeed be a lost cause.Are you thinning or trimming runners to ramify the foliage into pads?
I think it needs the foliage to be a bit more structured. It could still look wild (which I think is part of your objective), but right now the canopy impresses me as a bit of a bad hair day - just threads going every which way, thick or thin.
