Bi-Color Tulip, SH2-101

This is a bi-color image of SH2-101, better known as the Tulip Nebula.

I am in the learning process of processing color images and this image is my first somewhat successful result, though other renditions are most likely to be tried. I have learned a lot with trying to processing this bi-color image and new ideas are still coming to mind, so please forgive me and my mistakes as I try to become a "master rookie"!

Description: With this revision I had brightened and added contrast to the whole image as I wanted to remove some of the overwhelming red cast and bring out some blackness to the more empty spaces of the image. I used the free program paint.net to accomplish this simple adjustment. I hope that you think these changes have improved the image.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
