this would have been even cooler if you could have used the parallelness of the chains to your composition advantage even more. I like the contrast between the sky and the chains.
The colors are great together - you made some good choices. My biggest problem with your presentation is the areas of soft focus. For this image, it would be much better it everything was crisp and sharp. I'd also recommend eliminating the third chain on the right border. It's still one of the best submission of rusty chain/chain links - gosh there must have been at least 20.
