I'm a newcomer, but I've been spending a lot of time thinking about astroimages and I guess a spend a fair bit of time thinking about them. Your first post shows more contrast and seems to reveal a bit more detail, but while it does that, it seems to bring the subject closer and seems "louder" and more accessible. Your native, cool version (and even the warmer yellower one) give the impression of a huge thing a very long way away, while not really giving up much detail at all. Its subtle, and perhaps this wasnt the feedback you were after?
In general, I think keeping things (solar system and beyond) looking like they're a long way away is good, and while it's impossible to convey a sense of the size of things (especially DSOs) I think an imager has done well when I look at something and think "whoa thats massive!". I've been struggling with my images, thinking that they all look like cartoons that depict something real, rather than looking real themselves, and wonder if I'm loosing that realness in my quest for detail.

Thanks for your feedback. I'd rather get feedback like that than politeness. There is a definite fine line between good and oh dear what have you done
