Apart from the lovely spread of colours (I like images that have a balance of various colours and not too much one dominant colour), the framing is very clever.

The use of the diagonal, getting the petal neb in there nicely taking up one corner, the full extent of the spiralling twisty neb which is a very interesting feature and the ridgeline of the main fighting dragons which is the usual subject of the image is uniquely positioned instead of bang straight in the top 1.3rd of the image.

A good study in excellent composition, framing and colour balance. Add on the excellent resolution of the TOA scope and the large sensor makes for a top end image.

Greg.
Cheers Greg! Glad you noticed and thanks for the wonderful feedback!

If there's one mantra I hope that I can inspire my AP colleagues with it's "Don't just plonk your target in the middle of the frame!"

We're creating a marriage of technical & artistic imagery - far too often the basics of composition are overlooked when framing ie: rule of thirds, golden mean etc.

Pretty sure that there's no written rule that one's target must reside in the centre of the frame!

Cheers!
