A very interesting photo, and a very professional looking presentation. The combination of the photo, title and phrase is exactly what I thought this challenge was about, and you have done that exceptionally well.
Maybe it is a little overexposed/light. Especially the chain and the stem could have been darker, giving just that hint of green in the stem, and dulling down the chain. this would have helped really emphasise the plant as the subject, rather than the chain, which by being that light, does jump off the page a little too much. However, that is a small thing, a really very good submission for the challenge
one of my favorites this challenge ... like the message and your simple composition... not sure i get the significance of the flower in between the link
