Here's another version, a bit of a play in PS with midtone levels, and boosted the cyan a little to highlight the Running Man. Shadows and highlights have been left as-is.
The differences are subtle but I think the increased saturation helps the Running Man and there's a little more emphasis on the red clouds in M42 as well.
There are just so many ways to process, and so many ways to consider the same object.
