Superb result Terry. The faint strands of dust far from the central dust lane are particularly well done - very sharp. The jet is also very well shown.

Perhaps - not sure about this - the main part of the galaxy far from the collision zone is a little too grey. In the absence of collisions, a giant elliptical would normally be faint orange-red due to the absence of any gas for making new blue stars, and consequently mostly very old red-orange stars. The colour in the rest of your image is superb.
