At this stage i am mighty scared of what is the correct colour. I have been very carefull not to over saturate the colours. Any suggestions on how to improve this image would be greatly appreciated.
That's a tremendous image Carl! You have captured lots of detail. If you went longer subs, say 10min ea it would of even been deeper. The colours look spot on to me. Have even captured tha faint blue veil. Great framing Too - Perfect.
