Greetings from the Critique Club.
I gave this image a 6 during voting, which should actually be seriously flattering - I was downmarking pretty much all just chains images on the basis of lack of originality, and the ones that had matching titles like 'chains' or 'linked' were particularly grating on me, on the basis of both lack of originality and absence of imagination... Therefore it's a sort of miracle of life that this one got over 5 from me.
What I think really makes it work is the simplicity of the composition - there's something very graceful about the minimalism of it. And it's got that lovely curved diagonal shape that a number of your images seem to have, which really works for me, I find it very elegant. The bokeh works very well, and the background is good - the shadows are interesting, but without distracting from the main subject. The light is nice, the texture is good.
It's quite sharp, but probably not as sharp as it could be. Also, I find it slightly too close up - I would have liked to see the same curve, but from slightly further off, so that more of the links in the chain are shown.
So yeah, overall a nice image, but I do wish the subject matter was more original.
