Thanks for all the comments and opinions.
I was back there again this morning, same conditions (lucky again!) With my K10D and K200D.
Took about 10 more shots but still haven't got "the one".
My personal preference is the first but unfortunately the top 3rd of the framing was too bright.
The third one appears to be very popular with the Flickr crowd.

Anyway, I will leave this shot alone for the time being and move to pastures new!

Wintry morning walk on Tuesday morning I came across this view:

Didn't quite capture what I wanted so returned on Wednesday morning. Two more shots with different framing:

Quite pleased with the set of 3 and they came free with morning exercise!

In this instance, I can't see how anyone could be offended.
I personally have never done any post processing other than perhaps a small amount of cropping and this is very rare for me.
There are too many images out there that have been over processed or badly processed that are detracting from what photography is all about

That said......
What you have done with this image is (in my mind) nothing short of amazing.
If this had been my photo, and I do have lots of similar ones, I would have discarded it.

You may have converted me

Last night I pointed my deep sky kit at probably the most photographed subject beyond our solar system...

Orion...

This lead me to troll the gallery here.

This was the first image of the Orion Nebula I put up. Shot in my back garden!



Just over two years down the line, I shot this in my back garden last on new years day!

I love the journey I have undertook of discovery and learning!!
These are amazing and I cannot even imagine the work that has gone into producing them.

Nice job.
The first one is great, right up my street and yes, they are better with the black background.

Nice set.
Have you some dust on your sensor? Just below centre on right when in portait mode
Thank you - and well spotted (hadn't thought it'd be a pun). First I thought it was the sun, but it doesn't move, so it must related to the sensor.

Tried the dust removal _before_ checking visually, should have done the opposite.

I don't see any dust now, but there might be some left. Will try and take some photos during the weekend.

Thanks again
Happy to help
