Taking less-than-full advantage of the Advanced ruleset. Added a second layer, dutoned in sepia-ish, and opacity to about 60% in normal blending mode. On the original layer, levels, curves, unsharp mask, some dodge/burn. Resize, border, save to DPC standards and voila!
I had about 30 ideas for this challenge, but this is the only one I had time to execute.

A wee bit disappointed this didn't score above a 6. I guess the dust was too much for some voters. I had some shots after I blew the dust away, but I wasn't happy with the expressions. Anyway, I appreciate the comments...glad to know some DPCers have seen the early Superman films. |

Kinda like where Superman sent the bad Krypton guys in the 2nd (or was it the third movie?)... the Negative Zone, I think.
Beautiful shot! Imaginative subject and well done. (8) |

| I'd like the picture better without the gimmickry. |

| Great idea nicely shot, those things really attract the dust |

| Good shot, but i would have either cleaned up the HDD before taking the shot or done some PPing, taking into account those advanced editing rules. 7 |

| Many of us certainly are. Should have cleaned that disk first though, or cloned out all the dust. The idea behind this image could have made it a winner along with the very apt title, but the image lacks punch. Some interesting lighting and/or filters could be considered. |

| I like the caption and the creativity. Some parts seem to be over-exposed. And the disc could have been cleaned. The dust/lint on the disc kind of ruined the photo for me. Afterall hard drives are made in a "clean room". |

| Would like to see this with the "prisoner" in focus. Good idea; reminds me of Superman II! |

| This is probably one of the better HDD shots i've seen in this comp, no disturbing background and it's a cool idea, I like it! |
