Hi, Slawomir,

The blue stars/clusters in the spiral arms are razor sharp and extremely detailed. If I stretch your image a tad, I can also make out the dwarf companion galaxy at about 5 o'clock from the main one. Well done.

I wonder if the core is a little burned out toward blue-white, so you're losing some of the yellow-orange colour, and also losing contrast in the dust lanes close to the central bulge. It's a valid interpretation exactly as it is, of course.

A fine image.
