This is close to being excellent. It's at least a different sort of chain, and also the "life falling apart" imagery is good. I could do with a touch more contrast, lifting the red and dropping the blacks a bit.
I like the 'story' that this picture tells. For me the vignetting is a bit harsh on the left and there is something not quite bloodlike about the red, which does jar a touch. Composition wise this is great though
I like this shot and it's very creative. I didn't see it at first but then realized it's a heart made from the chain. I do feel that this would have benifited if you could have got the full chain heart in the photograph, but maybe you were going for a more subtle look. Love the perspective and again great idea!
