There is no 'natural' look in astrophotography and anyone who claims they know what it is is a fraud.
After reading some of your earlier comments, I don't think you can put your hand on your heart and make the first statement.

As for the second statement, I find that the way you have processed the wavelets produces something that I don't believe actually exists. There is a distinctly rippled appearance to the nebulosity in your images which goes against what I expect a "diffuse gas cloud" to look like.

Narrowband processing is extremely subjective. IMHO there aren't too many facts to apply here - a real blurring of the boundaries between science and art. I don't profess to be an expert, having only one tricolour NB image to my name LINK. Nonetheless, your processing doesn't do it for me.
