Thanks for all the kind comments. A lot of people like this one. It was selected for the cover photo of Astro Photo Insight which is an online astronomy magazine. Interesting on the color debate on the other forum but I am pretty sure this is the right color balance for this object.

I too love this image... you have just the right combination of processing... soft airy nebula appearance, good depth and contrast...
Like Louie commented, some would say the pinkish colouration that is prominent, doesn't belong....(that seems to be a theme on one of our Aussie forums, but most of these people don't do G2V colour weighting of their systems so how would they know anyway:) ) BUT, you have shown there is good strong red signal to the bottom end.... the pink can be caused from the scattering of blue reflection light through the HII areas.
No, this is lovely to look at!
Well done!
