Morning Fas,
Nice image, the composition is well done the framing also is good with one minor exception. I would have liked to have seen a little more room given at the bottom of the frame that last chain link needed just a wee bit of room. The elbow area needs a bit of sharpening. |

Positives:
This is a very nice idea. Provides the viewer with something to think about. Nice clean simplistic image without a lot of distracting details. Simple is always good. Generally well done.
Technicals:
Composition and framing are good. Sharpness is fine with the exception of some sharpening artifacts on the lower part of the arm. Tones are very smooth.
Not lots wrong technically. Looks like the image may be a little 'flat' where it does not contain the full range from black to white from 0,0,0 to 255,255,255. The bottom chain may be a little to close to the edge of the frame. This image depends on its simple clean lines for its effect so as a result there are some minor details that act as distractions. There are three shadow and arm lines that show up on the forearm that act as distractions.
The Challenge:
Obviously meets the challenge. DPC voters require literal topic interpretations and including the physical chain accomplishes that. But because of the nature of the challenge some voters might have become jaded after viewing a lot of images containing chains and wanted even more unusual compositions than this. Hard to say, though.
Undoubtably the wimpy arm lacking chiseled muscular features had a negative impact on your score. ;)
Suggestions:
Check the luminosity range of the image to be sure it covers the full range from 0,0,0 to 255,255,255. It will add more 'punch' to the composition. Dodge and burn for images like this are always liked by DPC voters so you might want to try doing some of that. It provides additional viewer interest. Adding a vignette border is a common photographer trick to increase image visual interest as well that you might consider. Flex those muscles! |
