Absolute Minimum

Absract Thursday this week has the theme 'keeping it minimal'.
So when l saw this rose in the local florist today l knew straight away what my blip would be. I asked to buy one and then carefully kept it in water in a cool place as l didn't want it to open any more. I set the shot up and had the camera ready to take the photograph straight after midnight.
One shot and apart from cropping it is straight out of the camera. As minimal as l could make it.
The skill for this flower is from the florist who explained roughly how she did it and why.
( Great for AT but l would normally never buy anything like this, l much prefer them natural!)
Thanks to Robert ( YouOrigon1) for hosting the challenge.
