Wow, that has formed and interesting pattern!
It is all hardened by now, isn't it?
It's a nice colour against that all blurred background, so you make it seen well. I feel that a little "up" of the contrasts would make it even better, and maybe a bit of USM (unsharp mask).

Thanks so much for the feedback! That is exactly what I hope for when I post. I'll experiment with the adjustments you've suggested. Appreciated!
