Impressive rendering and palette choice.

I rather like the deep blue ocean against the golden shores, so to speak.
There looks to be some interesting 3rd party ionization going on that adds interest to the scene.

Very slick indeed :thumbsup:

P.S.
The absence of muddy brown hues is greatly appreciated!

Thank you Peter.....The colour rendering isn't to everyone taste I know but I'm pretty happy with it....I just loved that pinkish area I haven't noticed that before

Lovely mysterious looking shot that Pete, one we seldom see posted on IIS, some serious Pareidolia in the gas and dust clouds there, bit like the Rosette (https://pbase.com/strongmanmike2002/image/140710554/original), a few animals are leaping out of the shadows :eyepop: :P

Thanks Mike I love this object ...I think it might be worth pointing one of the longer FL scopes like the 16in at some of the knotted areas...I think it will have a perfect FOV for it

A strong image, traditionally framed - with a bold colour palette, looks great Peter! :)

Great colour Pallette for sure love it

Definitely bold colours and the composition works very well. Looks like I am peering into a cave which is beckoning one to enter :thumbsup::thumbsup:
