Taken after a misty rain at night, this rose was part of a beatiful rose bush in a neighbor's yard. I photographed it with my camera's infrared setting. The light source was the camera's infrared light. I converted the photo to black and white in Photoshop.

The light seems to be pointed in the wrong direction. If it's a flash, try different lighting. The top is too dark, and the bottom left, out of focus stem has too much light.
Nice use of the water to enhance the light. The DOF is pretty good too. Well taken photo. I'm not convinced that this wouldn't be better in color though. I think the mood changes a lot with this type of shot B&W. It's more melancholy, if not morose. But what do I know anyway? - Inspzil

Alittle too much water for my tastes. The out of focus what ever just touching the rose and the whatever supposed to be in forefront detracts from other wise good picture.
Wow. Very very nice. Looks like someone was playing around with IR or night vision?? However it was done though, love the effect. Angle and framing/cropping are nice, and the lighting works perfectly here. Excelent shot! Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~
This is a very nice b/w. The water droplets are a great effect for this shot. The light is obviously there, but subtle. The limited DOF works nicely. Nice shot! - 7 - JB
