There appears to have a reddish cast to the sky, and you might want to set the white balance differently. If it were me, I wouldn't paint with a red light, but would use incandescent or LED light. (I haven't figured out how to remove the bluish cast from white LEDs yet.)
I agree that the lower portion of termite mound is too bright for the image and would try painting it for a shorter duration. I would also get more light at the top, and if necessary, paint it longer than the bottom.
Keep up the good work.
