I guess this is a chain on the dock?! Without more information in the background, I can't really tell where this was taken. Perhaps a different background...boat or more depth of field to show more water.
This should win, at least I think. The DOF, the colors and subject are perfect. Having the tower in the background finishes the shot off. If this doesn't win, it will be a most sad day for everyone. :)
Good attempt...there's not quite enough there to keep me visually stimulated for very long, however. My mind follows the chain to that out of focus tower (?) in the background and I spend time thinking about what that could be...if it were in focus, this might work a lot better. Good seeing, though!
