Hi Russ, great image of this very faint and very wide object.
What struck me first when I viewed the large version from your site was its orientation.
I thought great, not like every one elses who've taken this object. It makes you look for the face more and in doing so draws attention to the faint wisps of reflection (love reflection), then I noticed the face was looking at the glow- being Rigel.. perfect!
Love the soft intricate colours, it really is what this nebula is about because it's sooo faint.
In my own opinion, for ascetics, artistic framing and license, keep to the original posted.
I don't know if you took any flats or not, but if you are thinking there is a gradient, take some flats for peace of mind if you haven't already.
Other wise I think it's great as is!
Rich
