a little tip on banding, should you want it, is to add noise to the portion thats banding. I don't know how you do it in Lightroom but in photoshop the easiest way is to use a filter mask and add gaussian noise, only need a tiny tiny bit. it doesn't show as noise, just removes the banding. it happens mostly when using gradients or layers with low opacities.
Yea I looked really hard for it, hardly could see any, wasn't sure if it's actually my laptop screen.
Google for issues of banding / how to avoid / get rid of it yourself, but basically it seems that
Banding is caused by the failure of an algorithm during an image conversion, such as switching to a new color mode. If too many near-identical image tones spread out farther than its computational area, the algorithm can fail, and the conversion may produce tonal edges called bands.
Different colour depths is also an issue.
What did you do, shoot with your camera tethered to your phone, and edited there?
