Darrell, Thanks for the feedback. I did get similar feedback for others so I dialed back the saturation a bit. One of my weaknesses. I love color, sometimes a little too much.

To my eye, your rendition appears overly saturated - almost artificial. As much of the art of processing these images is subjective, it stands to reason that, like art, perception of the end result varies from person to person.

As bright as M20 is, it is a challenging object to photograph. Beautiful work. My capture of M20 is thru this link below. Thanks.
