You got a lot of detail there Gray and overall a nice image. I think though Ha Ha RGB is not the best choice for this object as it looks dull and the colours are too biased to the red. Some luminance would lift it and show off the fabulous details you got there. Ha as luminance is a hard beast to tame and I have concluded its not usually a good move. Ha + O111 is nice, Ha LRGB is good but Ha as luminance seems to wash out the RGB too hard or create salmon colours too easily. Ha and O111 with RGB stars is a really nice combo on some neb type objects (M42 is not strong in O111 though).
Your data is nice and sharp and highly resolved but its a bit hidden by the Ha. It may be worth shooting some Luminance and adding it to the image. I know its "just" M42 but a nice M42 is still one of the most spectacular objects.
