Thinking about the challenge, this idea came to me almost instantly. Even though CD's are not that old, they are obsolete compared to the iPOD.

a record or cassette would probably be better for old instead of a CD, but you wouldn't be able to get the reflection either. The reflection is in focus, but I would've liked to have seen the cd a little more in focus as well. 8

Good shot. I believe reflections are hard to do and you have accomplised it here.

Nice twist on a hackneyed theme.

INteresting ida, but it's too out of focus to work.

Your CD is out of focus. Use a smaller aperture (or was it bigger?... check the tutorials if you want to be sure, I'm not anymore ;) to get a wider DOF. Flipping the image would have been good, to make the iPod display readable. 4.

It would've been better if we could see on the iPod screen and on the CD what the album is, for a better comparison. Or have a picture that reflected how much more music could fit on an iPod versus a CD.

Are we allowed to "flip" the picture for Basic Editing? If not, taking a picture of this in a mirror would have made the iPod text go the right direction (though managing all of those reflections would have been difficult...)

Perception...funny thing, it is. Had I chosen this theme, the CD would have been the "New", while an old '45 record' would have been the "old"> Now you're making me feel old. Photo is nicely done. I love the reflection idea. That is very powerful. 8

slightly blurred, but that may be the CD 'blurring out' as it fades into obcurity. I love the colors
