I can't figure out what it is, so it's difficult to rate. I think if the entire image was in sharp focus, there would be some texture to look at and the image would be pretty interesting. As it is, there's only the tiny ring in the center.

This looks like HAL from 2000 A Space Oddesy. "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that"

With over 540 images to vote and comment on, I wish people could refrain from entering photos that they themselves don't even like just so they can have 'something' in the challenge. I'm assuming you already know what's 'wrong' with the photo, but with the large number of entries, I"m trying to give a large number of comments, so I'll tell you what I see.
A good percentage of the image isout of focus. By the largeness of the outter circle, it appears that THAT would be the main subject and therefor would seem that that part should be in focus. I realize that you were shooting for the center to be the 'main subject' but it just doesn't come across that way to me. The lighting is harsh. Reflections in the CD are very distracting and the large white reflection at the top is blown out/white. The center circle doesn't appears to be not in the center of the CD, making this look like a quick kind of shot. The centered composition isn't very visually appealing and the greyish kind of background doesn't really acentuate the subject very well. I hope this doesn't come across as too harsh, but in the same respect, I hope it helps you out in your further photography. ~Heather~

Seems out of focus...may be the lighting...I'm also not usually a fan of centered subjects....good idea though

The soft/lack of focus makes this tough for me to appreciate :( - 5 - JeB

what is that?

like the central composition here. frame looks suspect on basic editing, but I will go with it. interesting abstract.

The one thing that I've come to like about these challenges is that they makes some people use their imagination, as you have shown here. Good job!

This is neat. Is it looking down into a beer bottle? I like it. 7
