B

Description: Increased contrast, slight saturation boost. Surrounding dust and the Elephant's Trunk region have a little more weight.

Uploaded: ...

C

Description: Reprocessed to achieve a far more natural balance between the red ionized gas, dark dust, and the trunk itself. As a consequence, there's less contrast, but the image is far less noisy.

Uploaded: ...

D

Description: reprocessed for more color and efficient file size.

Uploaded: ...

E

Description: Small tweaks, noise handling, and reduced red halos in stars.

Uploaded: ...

F

Description: This reprocess was done to find an intermediate between colors of the two previous revisions and was also an attempt to achieve a better detailed, crisper, and more realistic-feeling photograph. More projects to come in the future, as summer season is approaching.
