Just looking at my monitor (laptop not too accurate) the dust lanes appear a little pink ,i have seen others with a more brown appearance, the detail is smooth so perhaps you could run a high pass filter over a duplicate blend it selectively in, and just give a teeny bit more definition to some areas. i know some would argue that fog has no definite edges, but given the detail that the hubble has pulled from M42 i think you can push the boundaries a bit and it is still believable.
its still a nice image as it is though.

Your`e right with the dark shadow color balance being a bit on the red side Clive which is making the dusty bits a bit pinkish..I shall work on that a little more..I did selectively enhanced the nebulosity but not very strongly. Might give it a go and push it some more..Thanks for that!

The only thing that bugs me a bit is the framing, I know you were trying to fit everything in but as a result the composition isn't ideal and is a bit ditracting, however, it is still a beautiful image!!!

cheers Mike, Yeah I know my composition sucks a bit, should not have rushed the framing so much but was eager to squeeze every bit of darknesss I could before moon rise. should have spent another few minutes getting it better..
cheers Gary

This may sound silly, but if you rotate it 180 deg, the composition will be more pleasing.
