 My interpretation:
strength, security...to have someone who will hold onto it and never let go. Who will do everything in his power to protect it and keep it safe from harm. Luckily, I have found that someone.

Technical:
Used VP's character filter on a medium opacity to mute the colors and then erased over the heart and chain to bring back a bit more color to them. That's about it other than the normal levels, USM and some noise reduction on the background that was added by the filter.

Good subject and title nicely ties me to your thoughts. You might have wanted to clone out a little of the glare on the top but its ok there.

this should take a ribbon imo, good pp. it looks like it isn't completely straight, at least the chain isn't perfectly vertical. But I didn't notice that untill the second time I looked at it. good luck.

I like this. It's different and not the typical sappy heart shot. The clarity is good and I like the tone of red - not too bright or flashy. 9
