It's probably just me but the colour palette is a bit pinky purple for my taste - (I prefer a bolder redder presentation of this object). But as always, a lovely, one could say bold - iconic presentation of a well imaged favourite

Thanks heaps Andy, coming from the artist imager that you are I will take that one ...aaah but you see, the artist in you is perhaps the reason you find it too "pinky" too ...the colour is in fact magenta , ie the exact colour of strong Halpha and weak Hbeta emission when mixed, it's just physics , It is not red. Of course the exact hue and saturation of magenta is indeed up for debate
