Orion repro

Couldn't resist this :) I knew there was more there, and there is, but I may have pushed it a little too far. There's only the very faintest suggestion of nebulosity to the right (south) of the loop, and I can't bring it out. When the moon's gone, I'll give it another go. First iteration

 

Is this an improvement, or is this too "in ya face"? Despite appearances, it's just this side of being clipped.
