This 1000 pixel-image doesn´t do justice to the microdrives textures, so I hope you don´t mind that I provide a link to the original ?

I love the colors in the reflections for this one. The blue goes very well with the shiny steel. It's too bad that you had to have one fail in order to get a photographic subject, but it sure is neat to see inside of one. I'm just in awe of the degree of miniaturization that microdrives requre. They truly are a feat of modern technology. But back to the photo. I like the composition you got here and the lighting gives just the right amount of specular reflections to show off the shiny bits while the overall tone of the shot is quite muted. Well done.

Great shot Gunter. I think its a great irony that this marvel of modern technology reminds me of a record player. Matt.
