Greg, I like the concept but I'm sorry to say it's a bit heavy handed in the processing imo.
The dark gaseous clouds near the neck can be visibly seperated from the background but here they have disappeared/blended into oblivion.
The image also looks noisy around the feint extremities of the nebulosity.
And yet the detail in the highlights is awesome and the colour palette is rich!
I think a reprocess would help as the data is there for sure.
