VERY DOUBTFUL........  A cd is in effect a mirror, a mirror reflects 
light according to the following "Angle of incendences equals the angle 
of reflection" Meaning that if the flash comes from +30 deg's it reflects 
at -30 deg's....  Besides it's too far from the plate and too small to do 
anything....
