Yeh..? ok

I've done so many versions now that personally I can't decide which I like most

I know from an image processing natural-look perspective it isn't the pick but I "think" I have a soft spot for this version because it actually reveals the shell structure in the galaxy halo (ED. Thanks Scott Alder ) which I have seen in only a couple of other images actually and only one other colour image - done with a very big telescope!
