This image seems to be devoid of any dynamic. It has a very calming effect on me. When flicking through my photos I always pause on this one...
Thought I share it.
Cheers
Steffen.

Steffen,
I love it, simple & clean
You probably won't get many comments on this one, they are a pretty conservative lot here.

Nice, keeping it simple as it is.
What about a little more dynamic in the lighting? be much more eye catching of that

Great composition.
I agree. Very calming. I would be quite happy if I could achieve such a result.
If anything (and probably not!) I would try LESS light, and have the chain in full silhouette.

Nice one Steffen. It's the bokeh that does it

What lens?

I agree with Des.. the bokeh is very sweet, and the chain provides a strong contrasting subject to the creamy bokeh.

Thanks for the feedback guys, much appreciated. I have a more silhouette-like version as well, but somehow I liked a little bit of detail in the chain better.
The lens was the 180mm f/2.8, shot at f/4.
Cheers
Steffen.

This would look very interesting as a triptych of varying hues

Quite calming indeed. For me a little niggling in that the colours are not my favourites so I keep thinking "pink blob!"
