Blue is a cool color, but this blue really sings and makes me think of warmth. Sometimes just a simple gradient makes a most beautiful creation. So it is with this one.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I gotta say, I do prefer this one over "Blood n Roses". The play of light and shadow, as well as flow, adds a very appealing etheral quality to this image. Excellent work.:o)
I always try to balance the light with the heavy - a few tears of human spirit in with the sequins and the fringes ~

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

Beautiful. That flame is fantastic, I love the use of **WHOOPS!!**: whatever it is you used gives the image a full-blown 3D experience. And that blue... !!!!!!!!! :)!
WHAT IS MAN WITHOUT THE BEASTS? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected. ~Chief Seattle VISIT MY GALLERY

Lovely blue and beautiful highlights to this. I like the shapes in this and the wispy, curtain-type look of the edges contrasted with the intense lights in the centre. Not sure whether the mystery is the unseen or the seen or if that is itself the mystery, but there is something mysterious about this. I think 'Blood n Roses' has a bit more atmosphere, but this one has a wonderful gradient/colour palette.
