I find the image slightly vexing. Too much of detail makes the image hard to read. If the whirl is the main subject, mightn't it be better to bring it forward by reducing clutter elsewhere? I'd like to hear thoughts on this.

i see your point, well i am trying to find my way in false colour ir editing, to get the colours i want seems the hardest,
the distortion of the whirl is a photoshop preset.

"the distortion of the whirl is a photoshop preset."

Thought as much. Use such effects sparingly appears to be the best way.

I'm with Bjorn on this; the coloured upper space is competing with the monocolor whirl which appears secondary and more distracting than the main subject.

I like the coloured structure which reminds me of the inside of fractal figures.
