Great idea.

Compositionally, this is very well balanced. The needle of the record player on the upper right, and the disc being in the lower left gives this shot a sense of balance. Also, I think the perspective is good. It is high enough to give a sense of what you are looking at without being straight down and static.

Technically, it feels soft, even though the title is very obviously focused. I think because the foreground is a touch soft, as can be seen in the writing, and the little stick holder thingy is soft, and that is what the eye is drawn to first, it gives an oof impression, even though it is more of a reverse shallow dof. Also, the lighting is a little undramatic. I'm not sure exactly how it could be improved, other than making it a bit brighter so the colors stand out more.

Good idea and it is a good fit for the challenge, I think.

If I need to further explain or clarify, please feel free to contact me.
