				It reminds me more like tall grass looking up at the night sky...just colorful grass than a gaseous nebula...lol...
 
 
But I like the colors...well done.

Yes but who determinds what a nebula looks like? Only like 1% of the universe is mapped so who knows maybe somewhere this is what a specail nebula actually looks like but yeah i see what you mean on the grass thing, but call it artisic licenses(My Version of Nebula)

				I love the colors! It does seem to be a little more solid than a nebula would be, but artistic licence is a powerful thing. Well done!
