Very nice Baptista, you've captured the nebulosity / dark lanes quite well and the colours are good too. One thing though - it's called Scorpius!

Scorpio in Astrology
Scorpius in Astronomy

"The myth of Scorpius and Orión is perhaps the most famous legend related to celestial mythology and, as we see, its origin goes back at least until the first description of the classic constellations. The form of this constellation really remembers to the one of a scorpion, reason why she is very showy, specially due to the considerable brightness of his main stars, emphasizing the red Antares. So showy it was for the Greeks that extended it until the neighbor, and weak, constellation of Pound, reason why this one would be well-known alternatively in the antiquity like the Clamps"

Nice colour a tad clipped in red and blue channels but well done

I think "Heart of the Scorpion" is a fittingly poetic name for such a dramatic image.
