The picture tells a story. There are many overlapping dark clouds, some of which are no doubt brewing new stars in their tummies. The Trifid is in full star-formation mode. Toward 2 o'clock is a mature open cluster, after it is all over. Very well composed.

As others have said, the contrast between the Trifid and the surrounds is beautifully done.
