 Intentional taken with low light. I added a bit more contrast to give it a more dramatic effect. Not sure if the voters will like it.

(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) Well composed. The diagonal lines of the chains across the heart is a nice compositional detail. The pile of chains at the bottom of the photograph are perfect use of the rule of thirds.

(2) BACKGROUND The color of the background adds to the richness of the photograph and complements the deep red of the heart. The only suggestion I could make here would be to add a little more light to the background so that it becomes a little more dominate in the photograph instead of totally disappearing at the top of the frame.

(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL Exposure is good. Composition is strong.

(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL There is only one change that I might suggest. Your exposure and post processing got the heart richly exposed but the chains seem just a little bit burnt out. I wish I could see more detail in them. This might have been accomplished by moving in just a little closer and making the chains a bigger part of the over all photograph.

(5)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photo does a very good job of meeting the challenge. I might have suggested putting the name of the group into the title for those of us that are getting senile, and can not remember.

(6) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO A very good picture. Nice use of color to invoke emotion in the viewer. Good work.

Thanks Natasha, Not sure why it didn't do well. Maybe because it was different, not normal.
Thank you to the other 2 who commented. :-)

Excellent composition and idea. Think that this should have done much better! Feel that some dark red velvet would contrast nicely with the chains.
