The attached is more what I was thinking of. I agree best not to process to someone else's view as its your image. Others may disagree and that is fine that is just diversity.
I think these L extreme type images are a bit hard to process as they portray Ha as more of browny yellow red.
My personal preference is for an image to display a balance of colours not all red or all browny yellow. The star fields in this area have lots of blue giants so those stars are quite attractive. In the centre of the Tarantula are some of the largest stars known:
"One of the clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud contains R136a1, currently the most massive and most luminous star known. R136a1 has a mass 265 times that of the Sun and a luminosity of 8,700,000 Suns. The star belongs to the super star cluster R136, located near the Tarantula Nebula. The LMC is also home to WOH G64, one of the largest stars known."
Background extraction is a Pixinsight process. Its job is correct unwanted gradients. I used automatic background extraction and subtraction of the gradient. In Photoshop I then used auto tone, contrast and colour to bring the colours back and then selective colour to turn the browny reds into more reddish reds.
You got some good data there.
