Congratulations on making the top ten. For me this was "best in show" and one of only three 10 votes I gave in this challenge.

I think it was so smart of you to leave some color in the wood -- it keeps the photo from being merely gimmicky. Nice composition and clarity. A high vote from me.

A Chain's Reaction
by krnodil

Comment:
I thought immediately of these old grade school paper chains when I heard about this challenge, so I'm surprised only one entry went that direction. I never would have thought to use the fan or to show movement, though. I like the color consistency, too (whites and reds). Very clever, well photographed, a high vote from me.

Chain Reaction

Wow, an action photo! Very well done. I'm curious to learn if you really shot against the sky or if it is a backdrop. Either way, a high vote from me.

The Abolition of Self

Comment:
This photo keeps climbing in my estimation. I felt at first it was too dark, but now I feel the chains dominate (as they should) and the identity of the model is secondary. A high vote from me.

I love how the blurred background colors complement the chain. A high vote from me. Of course I love the spiderweb, which adds another whole dimension to the photo, though it is almost too subtle. Nice work!

Lots of dockside chains in this challenge, but this is among my favorites. I love the blend of colors. The boards and nailheads provide scale.

Powerful photo. Excellent work from your model, too. The single white sleeve really adds visual interest. I detect a bit of "banding" around the backlit head -- could be my monitor or maybe a result of resizing. Anyhow, a high vote from me.

Revenge of the Cornucopia

Mark_u_U, this cracked me up when I saw it and saw your title (I was one of those who left a negative comment on your other cornucopia photo). This is a much better photo. Happy to see it and thanks for the laugh!
