Thanks Andy for clarification. I asked you because I had the same focusing problem (getting proper rainbow colors on cd was another) when I tried this kind of shot. -Abstract

Cool image, very creative
Andy 23-Apr-2005 23:03
In answer to Abstract's question. No this is not a composite. This is a crop of a raw converted file. A few light touches on several PS features. Nothing major. The one difficulty was focus as you can see. I couldn't get the DOF to have both cd and reflection in focus. I decided not to even try compositng two in focus images.

Thanks for the comments. Phone lines been down for a couple of days so hence the delay. The cd was pinned on the wall with a black bg near a window left. The flash unit was pointed at me who was standing next to the camera, remote in hand. Took a lot of shots to get this one.

very creative Andy. i like this image.
did you use different light source to get rainbow colors on the cd? or this is a composite? -Abstract

The man in the moon has a wonderful, dark malignancy, this is a first class interpretation. Very original and uses aspects of the topic i wouldn't have thought of. I'm greatly impressed with both of your entries, still time for another one.

We've seen that many reflections on CD shots that I never wanted to see another. As usual never say never, as you have posted a really good interpretation for this challenge. Also replicating the rays of light from the album cover is a really nice touch. Great work mate:-)

What I like about it is the left side which looks like half moon. Also a lot of dark spaces (for obvious reasons).

Hey Andy - Great idea and really well done. You've done a superb job creating an image from your concept. I love everything about it - right down to the five o'clock shadow.
aam1234 21-Apr-2005 16:28
Yeah, I like it too.
