That is a very good result Houghy. A very pleasing image, nice and sharp, great detail, stars look good. If I were bein picky I would say when you did your mask for the core and got your levels right you should have also increased colour saturation for the core as it looks grey in your image. When it usually looks a bit more magenta in other images.
The fine nebula around Orion also looks a bit grey to me and it'd be nice to make it look that slightly greyish blue.
From here the easiest way to do it would be to use the magic wand tool in PS and select the core, feather it heavily (30-40 pixels) and play with selective colour (start with the neutrals and add magenta) or colour balance tool and add blues. Then those outer neb areas again use magic wand to select, feather and selective colour and see which one affects the grey - it may be neutrals again. And try to add some blue into it.
Again that is being picky as it is a very nice Orion.
Greg.
