This is a high quality still lifw. I like the concept and use of the disc especially for its refractive color patterns. Good eye!

I get these by the millions. Being a 7 year AOL user, this photo is pretty funny. Lighting is wonderful. I really like the background you have chosen for this. Focus and clarity are great. I like the rainbow reflections in the "coaster". Nice shot! Good luck in the challenge. ~hbunch7187~

very nice composition and photo... the theme on 'garbage' is a little weak without the title, but I do understand your intention :) - setzler

Good idea, but the mug isn't central on the CD, is there a reason?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This speaks the clearest to me about waste sponsred by corportae culture--the folks who, in any case, create or promote the creation of most garbage. Dramatic composition, surprisingly "pleasant" and "aesthetic" UNTIL you start seeing the irony. Clean, classic, rich composition and fine colour saturation.
