Nice idea.

You need to resize so that the longest dimension is 640 pixels exactly.

regards

I noticed the central reflection at first and then I realized there is also a more blurred reflection in the larger part of the cd.
Very cool result (and I think I have that same exact vice grip).

I like the central portion of the photo with the double reflection, and the idea is great.

I do find the clutter on the right hand side of the photo to be a bit distracting to the rest of the image.

Thanks. I have some ideas Im going to try in photoshop. If they dont work I can blur recolor the distracting part. I just started shooting and finding bits on my cluttered workbench I may have to reshoot.Again thanks to all for the feedback

this is a nice idea and i like double reflection (one at center and another blurred on circular part).
i personally think, the image would have much more impact if there is no background (only CD). you could try portrait/landscape crop inside the cd.

Thats one of my ideas with photoshop. It may take a while but a moonlike effect was my idea.

I agree, no background would be better. Also, it appears the photo has a yellow tint to it, you might want to try adjusting the white balance.

I think this is a great improvement. The background was distracting. This fits the theme and is more portrait like. I like this capture a lot.

A step in the right direction. The starrs background is a little distracting. A plain background would put the focus much more on you

The 2 faces on the disc is terrific!!!

I saw the original shot of this and while the original background might have been distracting, my only humble critique (as a graphic artist) is this: the background doesn't do the CD image justice because the stars don't look real--after all, real stars are not that dense or all the same size/distance, plus you've lost the edge of your CD. IF you want to do stars then maybe a real shot of the night sky with a few stars in it of differing sizes would be even more effective and give a true DOF to the image? You can keep your CD edge from becoming blurred by using a mask layer (don't feather the edge).

My first choice would be for you to re-shoot the CD on a neutral background (granite, wood), something that makes the CD stand out naturally and cleanly. And/or you can shoot an entirely new composition using a blank CD, then superimpose this CD over the blank CD in the new composition, scaling and skewing to make it fit.

Good luck!

LOVE the changes you made--the plain CD case is wonderful and doesn't take anything away from the central image! Great job!
