For me it looks like the shock-fronts of 3 Bubbles clashed and compressed the material of the shells. The pillar between the two big bubbles in the center might be such a compressed area, where the density was high enough to initiate star formation!
Therefore in this pillar new stars were formed and generated their own small bubbles which you can see on the pillar!
A very nice picture, i really like it!Posted

You've picked a good one here—this is the famous Trifid Nebula, a favorite target for astrophotographers. It looks a bit different in our infrared image than is does in visible light: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap090707.html
