I like the idea of a subject lit and leaving the background totally dark. The shadows here make the shot seem a little busy. The DOF also seems to be really shallow, so only some of the petals are in focus. I would actually prefer this type of shot to have deeper DOF so the whole flower is in focus since blurring the background makes no difference because it is black.

not sure - is this a dried rose? The white balance seems a little yellow.
