Great use of one light... GL

Your constant use of "10s!" is giving away your anonymity, my friend.

Yes, my friend, I am aware that 10's mean thanks. But as you are the only author that is using it, every time you use it you are effectively signing your name to the entry. Which is giving away your anonymity. Just trying to save ya from maybe getting any of your entries pulled by the moderators.

Thanks for the SBS.

Here, as definitions found in many sites at google, the photo is not single light source but shadow which can be done by many other lights, not only one....as white is all around the rose

A bit too stark for me.

Even with SBS, this not represent what the contest mean in the photo showed as example.

Good result in black & white!

Simple, but lovely. Love the composition, and the B&W choice.

Well done, author. Do you think you can send some of your beautiful roses over?

Thank you Jerostone, lots of roses coming your way
