Help me with my color balance - M8 Lagoon.

I'm experimenting with a new workflow which has the result of accenting the red data in the Lagoon nebula especially on the outer parts and which reduces the strength of the strong blue signal near the centre.

Would you please comment on the merits of the blue versus red version. Which do you like best ?

The new red version is is here (200KB).

The previously posted blue version is here (300KB).

Both images start with the same data.
