Hey there from the Critique Club
Camera Work/Technical: After staring at the image, then taking it into PhotoShop, I think that I agree with trevytrev in that the chain could be just a little sharper. At first glance, it looks crisp to me. Only when I stare at it do I notice that the sharpness is a little off. The depth of field that you chose to use works particularly well in this image. Your Bokeh-type capture serves very well to isolate your subject from your background. The colors further work to set the subject apart from the rest of the image.
Lighting: Your lighting is the strength of this image. From the lighting on the subject to the relative darkness of the background, your lighting is very nice.
Composition/Content: I think that the voters hit you on your composition. While you nicely used the rule of thirds, the image feels a bit uncomfortable and off-balance. In keeping your subject entirely on the left of the image, there is nothing else that grabs the eye and leads it throughout the frame. Also, chopping the chain and the web where you did gives the image an overall cramped and uncomfortable feeling. I think that your find and idea were both superb, but you execution could use a little more work.
My Opinion: I think that your find and idea were both superb, but you execution could use a little more work. 5.987 is a very respectable score, and I think that it is an appropriate score for this capture. With some compositional adjustments and a little more sharpening, this would have soared well into the 6 range.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

| nice find. very clever. I'm afraid this site has officially fallen completely into the hands of the "distracting bottom left" crowd. |

| 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! |

| I like this photo's composistion with the Chain and webb bond together. I feel that the chain looks a bit OOF or not sharp enough though. |

| Ooh, that's pretty! Lovely delicate capture. The challenge seems full of chain macros, but I have to say, this is the first one I actually liked. |
