Well, to be perfectly honest, I don't really care for this image. I'm not even really sure what the heck it is.
I mean, it says volume, but it doesn't show what the volume is. It could be turned way down to 1 for all I can tell. There are little blotches all over the place which COULD be the volume markers, but can't really see any specifically pointing at a number. So this doesn't really imply sound to me.
I don't think that this would appeal more to me had the subject been off center, but it's worth a shot. Maybe some dramatic angle would add a bit of interest to this.
The focus appears to be good on the numbers, however, I'm not positive, cause the post processing made a LOT of grainy noise on this shot.
I think that the colors are good together, but as a whole, they just don't seem to fit in together. Can't even tell that there is a CD anywhere in your shot, and had you not mentioned it, I would never have known.
Overall, this just isn't my kind of thing.

I think having the subject less centered, and using less post processing would have made this more effective, at least for me.

Don't like the post processing - interesting subject idea, however.

What a strange effect. I'm very curious how you did it.

I think the idea is a good one, but I dont' really care for this result; the patches of colour seem to be random artifacts rather than intentional, and the abstract feel lended as a result is, unfortunately for you, not something I care for. (Well, it may not be unfortunate; it's not like you were out to impress me specifically, but, er, okay, I'm getting sidetracked again, really must sleep more before writing these...)

Mostly, I feel confused by this shot. Is it a negative, or something?

This is a little too abstract for my liking. 2

Pretty! I look forward to finding out exactly how you did it.

Volume of what? I don't have much idea what I'm looking at here so it doesn't make me think of sound.
