That looks ok to me Diego. I like the colour.

Looks really good to me too.

Overall it's a great image.
That said, it's a bit flat, ie:more contrast would help, and the framing is odd, M42 at the bottom is bright and draws the eye - a square crop would likely assist to make the Running man more prominent.
But hey, considering you were literally doing this in your sleep, I'm gobsmakked!
You're on a roll mate

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

We usually see the Running Man as an interloper or photo-bomber peripherally incidental to M42. Here you've made him the subject. It worked very well. A fine composition.
