Absolutely stunning!! There is a great sense of texture here and you don't feel like you are being manipulated by the light.

I'm not crazy about the background, and I'd like to see lighting produce more dramatic shadows in the chains, but a decent shot overall.

This is a beautiful colored rust. lol I think that your focus and clarity help to bring out texture in the links, and your lighting helps bring out color and texture. So you did a great job with both. I like how the subject fills the frame and I like the layout. Keeps my eyes moving around and lots to look at. overall a very nice shot of rust. ~Heather~

Great detail, good use of background. O love the rust flakes below the chain links. I'm not sure that it was intentional, but by placing the links as you did it creates a circle, which leads the eye around the photo. Very nice job. I only wish that the upper left corner were not so bright.
