Description

I often use layer compositing in my development workflow, and while seeking a method to composite several different versions of the Rosette Nebula together to better integrate their coloration range, one of the experiments produced this by pure serendipity.  I instantly fell in love with it. It reminded me of silk screen paintings I've seen in art galleries and museums, and may now be my most favorite (albeit least scientifically accurate) version of the Rosette Nebula.
