Description

*If the portrait orientation bugs or doesn't display well on your monitor there is a landscape orientation in the revisions. I don't do a lot of portrait orientation images, but thought I'd give it a shot to mix it up a bit.

So the title is a little corny, but what a neat little region of the Soul Nebula. You can see the whirling dervish near center frame twirling away under the cosmos. I really like targets that have this balance of SHO signal present. The colors come out without much manipulation, which is always nice to work with. There is some great contrast-y areas in the frame, as well as a couple of interesting pillars on the left side.
