The lower portion appears to be Orion. The three stars in a row is Orion’s belt. I didn’t pay attention in astronomy so hopefully someone can confirm.

“Orion” is by the tree branch. The three stars in a row being “Orion’s Belt”…. Which I think is attached to “the Big Dipper”

The three stars in a vertical line near the bottom middle of the image are Orion’s belt, the orangish star left of that is Betelgeuse. Most of the rest of the sky at the top of the image is part of Taurus

Taurus up top, Orion on the bottom near the treeline

Directly above Orion is the V shaped group of stars that make up the head of Taurus, the bull.

There’s probably bits of like five constellations in that pic

FYI SkyView free or starwalk 2 are great AR apps that will overlay your camera with the name of stars and constellations. They’re really cool ways to explore the sky

The brightest light in this picture is the planet Jupiter
Beneath it is the constellation Orion the Hunter

And Pleiades aka Seven Sisters at the top, above the Taurus triangle.

https://nova.astrometry.net/ I upload pics here, it gives back the constellations seen in the image after some minutes. Very neat .

The btm one is Orion with the 3 stars spaced evenly apart is his belt. The one above that forms a V lying on its side like this > in the picture is Taurus. The brightest star in the V is Aldebaran, the bulls eye. From the > follow the two points to the left side it will connect to Auriga. The super bright one seems to be jupiter. I wish I could comment with pics tho. Slightly above the V is the Pleiades star cluster.
edit: I’ve sent you a pic with the outlines. Hope it helps!
Make sure you select your location (top-right) and use the date and time selection to choose when the photo was taken and the chart will show you what was in the sky at that time.
Middle bottom: Orion (Orion’s belt is the three stars in a line left of the tree)
Middle (slightly above middle): Taurus (brightest star in the left part of the Y is Aldebaran)
Top (above Taurus): Pleiades
Middle left (very bright object directly out from the left Y fork of Taurus): Likely Jupiter

above the constellation ‘lens flare’ ;), the 5 stars forming an arrow are part of Taurus, but the ‘arrow’ itself is also known as **The Chevron**
