That's a nice shot for an un-modified DSLR. Keep im mind that the LMC is high is Ha and Oiii narrowband light. Your DSLR can pick up the Oiii (which is on the blue/green boundary), but very little of the Ha ( which is the deep red part of the spectrum). Typically an un-modified DSLR can only capture about 20% of the red spectrum due to the internal filters. A wide field Ha shot of rhat same area will show you much more, and many hidden structures. The whispy clouds you see in the LMC are usually Ha emission nebula structures. It will not help much to put an Ha filter on your DSLR as the internal filters will still block most of it. An astro modified DSLR will allow about 5x as much Ha light through and this will give you the whispy structures you seek.
