Autumn composition

Too much drizzle to shoot outdoors so I brought chestnut leaves and a conker home and arranged them on the dining table. I only have built-in flash and no proper lighting gear so I set the shutter to 30 seconds and used an LED torch for illumination, moving it to eliminate sharply defined shadows. I had to adjust the white balance quite a bit and I added some vignetting in LR.
