Beautiful, Ken, and a fine rendition of the remarkable complexity of this nearby HII region:
"Beauty is truth, and truth is beauty"
It is well seen in your image that the dust is not particularly heavy in the Orion Nebula, except in the 'dark bay'.
( Even relatively short-wavelength NIR imaging can 'dig out' many of the obscured stars in the Orion Nebula Star Cluster.)
We have had some very interesting pictures of this neb. posted in this forum e.g. sjastro's UV image that emphasized the dust distribution, and SkyViking's remarkable NIR image showing many of the stars in the cluster.
