What I particularly like: the contrast between the intense blue of the big ones and the more yellow colour of the general Milky Way stars. The sheer tonnage of the big ones.
Thinking about Geoff's comment, they are, perhaps 10,000 times brighter than the general background stars. It's pretty hard to show that with an 8 bits per channel monitor. So I think your approach is a fair one.
As you said, the contrast between the Jewel Box and the much fainter cluster is fascinating. One wonders why it is so much fainter? Further away, obscured by dust? Different birth environment?
A great shot.
