I decided that my original colour was too gawdy and also a closer up Crop would be better.

That's come out really well Carole!!

In fact both renditions are excellent.  Pillars of Creation are looking good.

Hi Carole,

Excellent renditions, I like both versions. I think the 'gawdiness' of the original uncropped version helps show the subject at that scale but the crop, being more subtle, shows the detail you have achieved without it being 'in yer face'.

Thanks Duncan, yes that's what I think.  I will probably post both versions on my website.
