Great work....love it.

You would have to be proud of that one wouldn’t you?

What were the capture details per filter? Camera, mount, etc?

Great work.

[multiweb (Marc)]

Nice colors.

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

Not a bad job there Martin, nice work ...shame about cutting off the dragons magic egg at the bottom as the shell structure looks great.

Getting some nice 3D feel to the centre parts of the image, well done

[Ryderscope (Rodney)]

That is a lovely wide field Martin. Looks like a nice imaging rig

Beautiful! Lovely colour and contrast. A real sense of structure.

The way to get the egg without losing something very pretty that you already have (like the contrast between the star field along the right hand margin and the main subject), is to do a mosaic: add a heavily overlapping panel at the bottom.


(Oh, someone said the other way to get the egg in the image was to stand a bit further away from the subject) .

Camera?

Lovely image although the severed egg is a bit of a distraction. Wasn’t initially sold on the blue/green/teal and yellow/orange combo but the more I examine it (or get used to it) the more I start to like it (especially with the purple stars).

Thanks Mike and Trish I have never done a mosaic before.

I really like this framing and composition. It all fits nicely into the field of view.
