Really liking your work lately, great color choices!

Thanks. The colors in this SHO image are largely due to the Foraxx Palette Untility for PI (Google that). It uses inverse exponential functions in PixelMath to create superb color contrast in bright regions. For me, the downside is that it suppresses very dim features.
