Description

So many options for processing color in this one, it was hard to choose.  But was happy to reach a point where it just felt "done" and I stopped experimenting.

This is part of a larger two-panel SHO mosaic, and both are great, but the detail in Melotte 15 is so interesting, it deserves its own image.  Will explore some other interesting crops in this one as well.
