*Critique Club*
I see you haven't logged on in almost a week, so don't know if you'll actually get this or not, but here it is anyway.
Since you didn't offer any details on what you were trying to convey with this image, it's really hard to say if you achieved what you were trying for, therefor, I can really only offer advice based upon my own personal opinion of the image.
What really jumps out at me first thing is the focus. This looks like it was maybe hand held. There definately seems to be a lack of focus for some reason. In a low light shot like this, the best advice I can give is set the camera down, and use the timer if available. That way, there would be no camera shake from being hand held OR from hitting the button. This would help to get the photo in focus. IF in fact, this wasn't hand held, then definately need to work on getting the focus on the image.
The color is vivid. Nice and bright. Unfortunately, I don't think that it adds enough to the image to make for a very visually appealing photo. I think it lacks a major focal point. Maybe an interesting view. A different perspective, or dramatic angle might add something to the photo. The centered CD just isn't drawing me in.
I believe it definately fits the challenge, and it is a creative way of adding the light.
The dark background works well against the bright colors, however, there is something on the right of the photo that is a bit of a distraction. I can't tell what it is, but it's just to the right of the CD, and is brighter than the background, but not bright enough to tell what it is, which does make it a distraction to the actual image. If it's meant to be in the image, than I don't think it's doing it's job by being there, since we can't see enough of it for it to really add anything to the photo at all.
I hope you find this helpful, and how that it give a bit of insight as to why the photo may have scored as low as it did.
