This was my first attempt at still life. Is there any tip or pointers? Not planning on doing too much of it...just wanted to be able to say I've done it.

Tough to tell if you've actually done the "still life thing" yet. This situation is a good example where it would be great if you could submit a "contact sheet" so we could see if this is the result of conscious, methodical, systematic exploration of the subject or just a pretty accident.

Did this photo turn out like you expected the moment you pushed the button? If so, success! If it was a surprise then it's time to explore what went right in this situation and prepare to repeat the process.

Contact sheet?
That's what I was shooting for. Just playing around. Wasn't expecting the reflection though.

I would say for just playing around you have a pretty good eye. This is how you get better. Keep playing around, and listen to most of the advise you will get from other photographers. And like what is said above, if the shot turned out the way you wanted it to, that is success whether is good or not....
