Greetings from the Critique Club.
Ah, we meet again :)
First reaction: oh no, I have to critique one of these now. Basically, I thought the challenge had a lot of creative potential that most people, unfortunately, didn't seem to tap into - I started voting with a hope for elaborate metaphors involving relations, society, etc., or at least decent S&M shots, and instead I came across chain close-up after chain close-up, normally named something original like 'Chains' or 'Linked'. I gave this one a 5, which was actually above average compared to what I was giving the rest of them.
That's sort of a necessary explanation - I think a lot of voters would have felt the same way, and the marks given are therefore often unfair to the individual photograph in question. This being a good example. It's a very good picture of a chain. The bokeh works fantastically, the background is a nice, pleasant green, which compliments the rusty bits of the chain nicely, the lighting is just right, there's nice subtle use of the rule of thirds, it's well post-processed - it's a technically very well done photo.
I'm not sure the title really fits the picture that well, but I do believe I marked it up because you didn't call it 'linked'.
You obviously have both skill and aesthetic sense, but I do wish you'd gotten around to shooting some of the more non-chainy chain photos...
