Second in my week long attempt to shoot a rose in all different styles and settings . . . this shot is a low key image, shot with a black background and a 'snooted' flash - meaning there's tube around the flash head directing the light right at the rose. I sprayed the rose with some water to breath some life into it - giving it a catch light, which wildlife photographers live off of!

Captured with the Nikon 50mm prime at f/1.8 at a 60th of a second. ISO is down to 100.
