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!
