Looking through again....the fine detail really is incredibly well defined!
I meant depth simply in the context of rendering the fainter extents. This is in addition to a lack of colour nuance and tonal range in other versions I've seen that can detract from the visual complexity and appeal of an image.

Thanks again Louie - glad you liked the image(s)!

Not sure what you're disputing Mike . Put more simply, I'm saying there's no such thing as a boring nebula either in terms of colour or tonal range. I've been guilty of thinking that from time to time which is why I went after the Swan. BTW, the Lobster is not monochromatic either and, if processed properly, has good tonal range and a decent amount of colour nuance.
