Monochrome rose

I got a few bits of macro kit for Christmas this year and this is the first shot I took in my first play with them last week! I used a ring light, tripod and macro lens, set up in my front room. I really want to work out how to get great black and white shots and show how different angles and depths of field can represent a flower in so many different ways.

In Lightroom I tweaked exposure and contrast and added a slight dark vignette after converting to monochrome.
