Thanks Phil quite a few people have said that they want to image this now, glad it has sparked an interest in this object, it really is very beautiful I think..even blowing around in the wind

Beautiful image!

Well Paul, isn't it funny I had the worst conditions I have ever imaged in really and the response to the image created in those conditions has been one of the most positive and from all round the world...

Ah you thunk too much Freddo I have seen Witch Heads against very black skies too and yes it doesn't look quite right..? I generally favour backgrounds that aren't black anyway...sheesh let's see..?.. I like noise, a blue cast to my images and a non black background am I a looney ?

Yes I thought the same thing Craig, it feels like you are flying right through it huh? I am spewing that the conditions were so crap or maybe the softening the conditions had on the image have actually helped a bit in this case...? Naaah!
