Much too "spikey". Looks like a bad Christmas card. All that wonderful nebulosity is shunted into the background and faint yet fascinating detail is lost amid a sea of cheesy spikes. It also appears over-processed.
Don't go there duuude, as the Americans would say.
FWIW Mike, I'm a big fan of your images. They are truly world class and you need take a lesson from no-one.
Sorry but this image is just way over the top and leaves me wondering what the photographer was thinking.
Well thanks for the compliment and hey fair enough but did you download the full size version? My initial thoughts were similar to yours until I downloaded the full size version and then the spikes lost impact and the amazing detail and subtlty shine IMO
