Nice work, I did something similar with the FZ18 too.

Could improve abit too, if you shoot like that, a lot of flash is going to bounce back at you, not good for your eyes really, try a black layer behind. =) And a lot of the flash actually bounces backwards, so you could put a white layer behind to bounce them forward again, if you want it brighter. =)
