I am not sure how to size a photo to enter it.
The purpose of the photo was just to enter the challenge.
The light used ws natural light. I did not use a flash.
The chain is on a background of black courdoroy fabric.

Hi from the Critique Club

From the comments Im not sure why you want a critique if the purpose was "just to enter a challenge" but I'll give you my thoughts anyway...

Fit: The image fits the challenge in that it contains chains

Composition: Composition seems ok in that there are strong lines in play.

Technical: First, read the tutorial that levyj413 has linked to. Small images always score low on DPC. The lighting is way too harsh, perhaps overexposed in places too.

Feel: Even if the image was bigger, it doesnt grab me in any way other than saying "chains on fabric".

PM me if you have any queries.

This image is too small to convey much impact. Here's the tutorial to learn how to prepare shots for DPC: //www.dpchallenge.com/tutorial.php?TUTORIAL_ID=26

You'll probably get this comment a lot. The image is too small. Take full advantage of the pixel rules. Highlights are a little blown out.

Otherwise, the diagonal background is good composition.

I'm sure you've heard it plenty, but in these challenges, size matters :-) In case no one has pointed it out to you, there is a very good tutorial on the site about sizing your entry. Go to the menu bar, Learn

Seems to be a lot of hot (over-exposed/white) spots.

Nice idea, but the size of the image makes it hard to see.
Looks a bit blown out in places.
Good luck anyway.
