Description

This rendition may not resonate with everyone. I did not use any star masks for this, the seven sisters are so bright I felt they easily stood out from the rest of the field. I really like the absurd amount of stars in frame and all their different colors.  Star color is not something I tend to focus on in my images but in this case I think the super saturated stars compliment the cluster well.   I'd like to believe that the background reds and browns are actual signal, more likely it is simply over-saturated gradient but my wife said she likes the color and I agree.
