This could be a very good picture, but the lighting is too flat. - I think it would be better if lit from the side.

I like the symmetry at the top of the image, and the subject is definitely interesting. I would like to see some more saturation in this image.

There have been lots of chain pictures in this challenge, and each has it's own personality. This one has such harmonious colors and textures that, for me, it stands out from the rest. Good use of light and shadow here as well.

Interesting, kind of abstract shot. I think a little increase in the contrast would add some "punch" to this image.

Perhaps a little harsher lighting to develop shadows would help. I like what I see but it all seems to run together.

I don't like the lighting in this photo - appears to be a harsh flash. it has the effect of flattening the colours and rendering an otherwise interesting image less so.

Definitely rusted. Nice textures and lines. You are the victim of being one of many, many "chain link" images so competition is tough. The best advise I'd offer on your entry is to do the exact same thing again when you have some dramatic lighting. The flat lighting here nakes it pretty mundane.

The picture is good but it's missing some contrast. My own opinion of course

Picture seems to be taken in the shade, seems just a tad dark.

Would of done well in the proportion challenge also. Huge looking. Needs a bit more focus, nothing in the shot is sharp or crisp. :) Good luck.

Cool looking chain, the lightning seems a bit flat, flash?, I think different lightning and shadows could have worked very well here, good luck
