This is my first submission, so any and all comments are appreciated!!
I'm a big music fan, so my first thought for this contest was a comparison of recording medium. Initially, the toughest part was getting the reflection right. Once I got it where I wanted it, I had a hard time keeping the CD dust-free!
Basically, shot it using outdoor lighting with the tungsten white balance (to get the bluish effect). Did the following in Photoshop Elements 2.0:
- cropped picture
- changed levels
- added contrast to make the picture darker
- fooled around a little with the saturation
- added some USM

Certainly stands out from the crowd of vinyl vs. CD entries. I love the reflection idea, so much better than just plonking them next to each other on the table and snapping away.
Great composition, blue tones and I love the reflection. Both old and new are accented on your photo which is wonderful sharp. Personally I would have chosen black background, but this is just my taste, don't care about it. :-)
