... yeah that's actually one of the problem I've encountered in starting playing with mosaics too. Even not within a field as extended as this one. The difference in dynamic ranges and luminosity between two well known DSOs, like M17 next to M16 for example is so big that you have to compromise not to make one or the other look 'funny'. You know, like when you play with the shadow highlight tool in PS and you can push the bright core of a nebula to something darker than the surrounding neb if you push it too hard? Then it looks odd? Same happens on extended fields like this one. You've got to cheat somewhere and not make the blend obvious but it's not straight forward IMHO.
I think this whole field is extremely well balanced considering.
