Still Life?

Some thorny twigs, spray painted flat black and put into a vase. I guess you'd consider this still life... this is my first attempt at it.

Camera:	Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100
Lens:
Submitted:	Sunday, 11th November, 2012 22:16 (GMT)
Taken:	Sunday, 11th November, 2012
Focal length:	9 mm
Shutter speed:	1/1000 sec
Aperture:	F4.5
ISO:	100
Notes:	Used a tripod and two off camera flashes. Bounced one flash off the ceiling and used one behind and below the subject. The white balance was manipulated in camera to produce the purplish color (the wall is really a mustard color). Image was resized, otherwise it is as it came out of the camera. Thanks for viewing.
