Almost looks more like a sea horse head with this level of resolution. Very nice.

So cool Carlos. You have brought new life into the Horsehead. I am thinking I need to try a monochrome version too. It won't have all of your great detail since I am using a DSLR, but maybe it will look interesting.

I am really enjoying the Ha images since these are all about texture and details. This one is no exception. Very nicely done.

Thanks Jim ! Sometimes plain monochrome does the job best

Thanks Jameel ! I just love shooting in Ha for that very reason

Nice result on this, always love the intricate detail that the Hα filter brings out on objects like this. Very nice mosaic technique too - I hope I can achieve seamless results like this when I try my first one.
