I agree with a lot of other people, the feel of the bottom left hand corner is awesome. It looks 3D and I feel like reaching in and touching it. To me, that is always the hallmark of a great image.

If I feel like reaching in and touching it on screen, I can only imagine how incredible a large format print of this would look. Wow!

This gets my vote for Image of the Week. I'm sure it'll catch Mike's eye, too. : )

Thanks Humi. Always good to get others viewpoint on an image as after a while its hard to keep a perspective on it.

But after all the fiddling I think I ended up with a decent result. Often mosaics are dark to hide the little defects much like a rock guitarist turns up the fuzz on the guitar to hide the flubs. Jase's mosaic of Rho had a very light background so he was very good there with his technique.

I have the data for an even larger mosaic I took over a year ago now. It is 16 panels of about 6 hours each. Now I have this as a method I should start the long process of putting it together.

Oh for sure! it is decent alright... and who am I to comment anyway being such a mosaic virgin (still) and scaredy cat

As I said overall it is a fine vista

Brilliant composition Greg, thanks for the view. One to remember for me.

You know Greg the only thing wrong with this image is my 22" screeen isn't big enough to get it all in one view

I need a bigger monitor

Thanks Mike. I am sure it could be improved with another 100 hours hehehe.

Hi Greg,

I keep on going back to this photo.

It is one of my favourite parts of the sky and your photo is one of the best I have ever seen of this region.

It is original and inspiring.

Wow, thanks Ross. That's great one of my images has had such an impact. Certainly a goal any imager has it to make an impact with their images. Cheers

I like the repro a lot Greg. I'm more into pushed to the limit data hence my previous comments but I see your point in highlighting the barnard loop as the main feature.

Thanks Marc. Often you need a fresh viewpoint to take an image that bit extra. When you look at it too long by yourself you can lose perspective.
