Very abstract...I like it! Good idea too. You are very original.

Greeting from the Critique Club,

I love this image the outrageous colors really jump out at you. Together with the graphic nature of the smashed CD create a first class abstract image.

I was surprised to see that it was straight from the camera as it looks like the colors are saturated but I now can see how the single light has brought theses out. This image would not look out place in a Sci- Fi movie set or even a CD album cover such is the quality of it.

It is a little disappointing that this image didn’t receive a ribbon but the DPC crowd always have trouble digesting abstract type images or images where a bit of artistic license is rendered. This is the first time I have seen this image and will be adding it to my favorites I like it so much.

Congratulations on such a great image and good luck in future challenges.

Best Wishes

Hey, thanks for all the comments. We really like this photograph too. And the best: it's straight from the camera without any changes in PS. Thanks again.

Congratulations on your 9th placing. I have never seen a cd so impressive. A very good job.

I really like the texture and colors of this photo. Has a real freakish techno vibe.

Cool rainbow reflection.

It's like a cage to me. One of the better approaches to a very common subject here, as much because your saturation of colour is so effective. Good sense of detail.

I'm tripping out, man.

Returning for comments:
A great shattered specimen and a great image that introduces the abstract principle in color and form. Bumping up.

a little over-processed but interesting

A good take on the age old cd-shot favourite - 8.
