When browsing through the Astrobin-Galleries in search of Messier 1 pictures there seem to be two different philosophies/schools on how to show this nebula with it's truly different faces.
The first version is to focus on a naturalistic appearance where the prominent synchrotron radiation dominates the inner regions in form of some kind of greyish/pale blueish light without very much contrast. This is where the famous relativistic effects in form of polarized light rapidly changing in shape caused by magnetic fields of the pulsar do take place.
But these pictures seem to lack detail and color compared to the second way how to show Messier 1. This second philosophy is to capture additional H-Alpha- and [OIII]-signal which does let literally pop-out all these filaments mainly in the outer regions which bring detail and (sometimes maybe a bit too much) color into the scene.
In my interpretation, I preferred to stay on the more naturalistic side color-wise. Same time I tried to work out all these outer regions with their tiny filaments detail-wise too. But the priority was to not lose the inner region which is sometimes a bit overkilled by H-Alpha signal and therefore is losing in some way the physically interesting detail showing the synchrotron which does not seem to show up in too many other objects.
I hope that balancing these two schools - bringing out the filament details best possible resolution-wise while having the tendency to stay calm color-wise lead to a pleasant result
BTW, there's a lot going on in the surroundings of Messier 1!
Here you can see a second version and some of my thoughts about it:
