Oh gosh, here goes! ;)

Ah no, it is a lovely image, so I hate to take a way from it Gary! But, I do think your over-expressing of the subtle details has created an over-exposed core for both galaxies. However, upon doing that, you have really brought out that distant edge-on spiral below the merger galaxy. Plus, I think you have too much blue in there when you were trying to get the faint dusty detail in the outer regions of the arms.

Go easy on me with the rebuttles! :)

Seanie,

I am with you on this one as far as the blue is concerned which seems to be overwhelming the overall image. Was any adjustment done to the saturation as it seems to be slightly aggressive?

Anyway, it is an excellent image overall and my comments are relatively minor.
