Thanks all! I'm really flattered, although my processing should've been better.
If I understood the rules, I may not enter the contest for next three months?

I'm sorry that I didn't see your post earlier Boris - you can enter every month as long as you do not win the overall contest. You only have to sit out if you have won the finals - so let's see your work!

Now I've looked at Orion literally thousands of times, and it NEVER looked like that. Are you sure you didn't spill something on the negative? 
Very cool pic.
