Rose in the night

[WV1]

Excellent image. So you used both the flash and a flashlight? Interesting....

That tiny tinge of purple at the left bottom of the flower seems a bit out of place though.

Bobo...

thank you very much for your comment.... that red mark which is on the petal... maybe because a red rose is growing next to this... do you think it would be better to paint it over ?..

Steve, Andrew ... thank you very much for your comments...

you are right... the very bottom is under exposed.. the leaf was not lit enough... I think... would it be better to cover it with black colour ??

This is a very interesting image indeed. In your post you said that you used a torch, but do you mean a flame torch or a flashlight? How did you use it exactly? I am very curious.

Great job!

Jacob.. thank you very much for you comment... it was a very average size flashlight torch... I was keeping it in one hand - pointed on the rose and my camera - in other hand...
