Nikon D300, Sigma macro 150. F/16, 1/6sec, ISO 200.

I like the flowing lines and the radiant light. Comments appreciated.

I agree Albert - beautiful lines and shapes. I think I might prefer this a touch brighter but I'm not sure. (may just be a reaction to looking at my own dark stuff.) I love the soft processing in this and the muted color. Beautiful image.

I also like the flowing lines, but agree that a bit more brightness or just a tad of contrast would be more interesting.

Beautiful rhythms to this, Albert; I think your title gets it just right - there is an element of mystery about this image which I like very much.

A very interesting choice of pof here, Albert... I like the aggregation of petals at various angles, the glow within the flower and the color. I'd like to see a version that's a little brighter just for comparison.
