Valentines day, so a shot of the obligatory roses. This does seem a bit girlie but I did quickly take it during 'half time' of the Rugby. Sadly, England lost.....
Set-up. Camera right, small 'ebay' soft box on SB600, set to low power just to light rose. Back, Cobra flash - very low power, in a cardboard box with holes punched in it to make to make the out of focus 'bokeh'. Aperture wide open, to give the nice circles and shutter 1/500 to kill any ambient light giving the black background.

Happy Valentine's Day!
Nice. Great exposure and DOF! Love your comment too! LOL
You didn't give the set up...and I need the set up!!!!
Beautiful image. Love the dots of light!
Happy Valentines day, belated. Hope it was wonderful.
Sorry for England.
Thanks for your comments. I have added the set up info to the original post.
That's a nice photo - looks like more thought and time went into it than half-time might allow. How'd you get to 1/500th with flash? What camera are you using?
Eric - it seriously was a lucky 5 minute job. The cardboard box is set up and ready to go any time I need a bit of DIY bokeh!!
I use a Nikon D50 which syncs to 500 and beyond. One of the main reasons I've never upgraded, excellent for killing ambient. I use cheap ebay triggers which are a bit fiddly but great when they work.
