Perhaps a lasso, feather and a bit of curves to boost it in Photoshop?
A bit hard to tell with the image but are the stars on the left on average larger in the image than
the ones on the right? Perhaps some tilt in your camera/focuser.

The glob looks flat as I think the data could be stretched more, in addition you've slightly black clipped the red and green channels. While this has boosted the blue reflection nebulosity, it hasn't done much to aid in balancing other aspects of the image. Would be worth seeing what more information you could extract from this data set. It should deliver a fantastic result.

Thanks for the kind comments and in relation to the Red and Green clipping and the globular, I did a re-process on the image and I feel that it is now better. Id originally toned down the globular as I felt it was distracting but then realised, Why photograph it in frame if I didnt really want it there?
Greg, in relation to the stars being tighter on the right of the frame I really feel that its due to the dust extinction on the stars making them appear smaller on the right of the frame.
Thans for the comments as its really appreciated and Ive included a reprocessed image.
