Never knew what the flower associated to the name looked like this and I had been growing it for 20 years!
Heh I'm olde!

I have NOT seen this 1 unique center accenting flower until here...in color I am not perceiving a sharp graduated lighted center..Can't figure out why the "tone line" is so sharp. There is nothing that would cause that.??

Per your subtitle comment: Is it possible you have color-blindness in that transition area? Perhaps posting the color version would help explain?
Regardless, I would say interesting processing for sure and nicely composed.
Quite right!
I will do that..the raw file shows the transition to lighter but not as stark as the b&w...I do NOT wear my glasses when I photograph unless the vf has no diopter. And I also pray the AF "lock on" beep is present..
Dan..THANKS! Thought of that..
Post thought..the flower is directly above my gazebo. We had a heavy rain the evening before.. a drop of water from the above slat intensified the light then dried up?

Heard about its medicinal characteristics, but have not seen it before this, Dan'l! (except for your color version, that is)!

Ditto Douglas!
I was expecting something more "weird"!
Nothing seems to work when I have pain!

PS...Your balloon flower seed pods have been picked and bagged...will let them dry out a bit then ship...some "gloxinia seeds" also
