Very nice use of deeply shadowed under bridge to provide contrast for focused area of chain. diffused reflection in water is also nice in locating chain. I would crop the bottom at the tip of the tree and remove one little spot of light under the bridge. The exposure could be reduced just a tad.

Less of the real light area at the top and less of the out of focus link in the foreground might draw the eye quicker to the nice detail in the center.

This is a good rust picture, the colors are really nice but the focus is odd. There are only a couple of links in the middle of the chain that are in focus, none of the rest of the picture is - don't know if you were trying for this look or not. At any rate, it would be a fabulous picture if all of it were in focus.
