      RCW19

      We've been stuck at the house due to snow and (mostly) ice here in East Tennessee, so I thought, what the heck! Why not enter a contest! Here is my take on the RCW19 object. This one was a challenge because I'd never seen the object before, so I didn't really know what to expect from the outcome. I processed this as a blend of SHO (main body) and RGB (deep reds at the edges) to give the image a feeling of more depth. Fun project!
