The 16 bit .tiff file is excellent. I find that all Astrobin images loose a bit of depth and luster.

I've already modified the image slightly by adjusting the curves a bit around the trapezium region to where the stars pop a bit more. Then fussed a bit with the dark clouds trailing away from M43. But that has not been posted.

This should be shot with one of the newer smaller pixel cameras to resolve even more around the Trap, then blend that in. But I think OIII and SII should simply be next.
