Are you saying that that's only backlight? I'm amazed, if so. Your numbers are a bit strange - is this really at ISO 1600? At 1/8th second you're lucky to get such sharpness - and if you were using a tripod or any steadying device, then why shoot at that sensitivity? Especially whne you haven't made a feature of the noise that that produces in the image. I'm slightly confused by that, I must say.
There isn't really all that much to this shot. I suppose it might, at a push, be said to have a certain brash shiny quality that one might associate with the 80's - but then, as with all these 'period' challenges, the inevitable winners are simply retro fashion shots. So, more power to you for the imagination (though I would also put CD's into a 90's box much more readily than 80's).
I'm not sure you got your history right unless you are talking Japan... In the US in 1990 only 28% of homes had a cd in them... As far as your shot goes, I know what you are trying to do, but this doesn't go over all that well. It's kind of boring and without your title, I wouldn't even know what it was...

Hm.. I like the abstract nature of this, but I probably wouldn't have guessed they were CDs without the title. Its a very simple image but the coloring with the darkness to the left and the border give it a nice impact. I even like the muted feel of the neon-ish color. In the challenge vein, its impact is a bit lessened, but on its own as an abstract picture I do love it. No idea why there's a difference, but there is! I gave a 6.
