A pleasing work of art. The lagoon is an oyster, and the hourglass region is a pearl. The Trifid is perhaps the moon in the sky, illuminating the lagoon.
Nice feeling of the Lagoon, Trifid, and abundant thick dust being foreground entities, with distant Milky Way stars far behind.
I struggle with the standard lolly pink of straight RGB - your blend of Hubble palette and natural colour works well, and gives something of the best of both approaches.
Cheers, Mike
