Excellent Steven, you got a natural look that escaped me in my effort ;-). Sharp and clean.

Steve,

Cutting to the chase, contrast a little high, too much cyan and the seeing wasn't helpful.

That said...a great effort.

A brave and well executed image scale (no fly specks there! tracking/guiding dead nuts on.

BIG image scale there Steven! Super work. In this instance, I like the contrasty presentation. Its brought out some great detail such as the dark lane drop off below the halo.

Thanks for the kind feedback. I think I can do some further work on this image to bring out more detail in the outer envelope.

On my CRT it has a 3D effect to it, especially in the lower RHS.

Fantastic work Steven.

Looks fantastic Steve!
maybe a little green/cyan? on my LCD but only a little.
Heaps of details and those dust lanes seem to extend way out!
cheers Gary
