Description

The Tadpoles are structures which are similar to the more famous Pillars of Creation.  Intense radiation of the young stars of the NGC 1893 open cluster pushes away dust and gas, forming this wonderful structure for us to photograph.  Green has been mostly banished in processing as it ruined the mood so to speak, clashing with other hues.
