How about this?

I think it's fantastic! How was it created?

Very unique photo! That's a really neat effect!

Yeah! I'm extremely glad that you like it!!! So I'll start:
Firstly: no photopoint or corel tools were used, it's a normal photo made by me and my fuji finepix s5000. I turned all lights off, so it was complet darkness in my room.
I lit the candle and put a cd behind it. I did about 20 experiments with this and this is my best.

I had some problems because when I was holding a cd in my hand, it was visible. so I attached this cd to a transparent stick

Looks nice for me

And I took it on f8 and 1/4 s. I used also tripod.

btw I couldn't get even a similar effect with my non-digital cam. I don't know why. The colors weren't so bright and it was awful. Do you know why? Is this effect characteristic only for digitals? And have you tried to do this?
