That's a Sure Beta 87a in the background. Since talent didn't come in the box, it serves as an expensive prop. No changes aside from a resize/save for web.

No, that would be an AOL CD. ;-)

Lovely, humorous, and effective. Good going.

Fresh take on the CD theme. Like the brilliant color, and the neutral tones of the mic, wish the background was just a bit whiter.

great idea. Never thought ofusing them for coasters. Need better focus, though. The cd isn't really sharp. Only the cover edge is and I think it doesn't get across the idea because the focus seems to be strongest on the wrong thing.

A very nice photo, but not a wow. I like the DOF, and would love to see part of the image tack sharp. I'm actually enjoying the mic more than the CD. It's interesting and well lit. 6

Excellent use of colour, focus and perspective. Nice.

Is that an AOL disk? Not sure how the mic plays into this, but I still like the DOF and composition. The specks on the disk case are a little distracting, thoug.

Dust -1, 5. (nice idea!)

Did CDs really come out in '82? Who knew!? Very cool shot! The microphone troubles me for some reason; I guess I'm still not totally sure why it fits here. But the composition is quite nice regardless! 8o)

The date is wrong by a few years.
