 Wow, this was so unexpected, I was hoping for a top 10, never thought it would ribbon :D Thanks to my wife for being my model, she had a hard time holding that heavy chain up. Thank you everyone for your encouraging comments :) I can only hope the 20D team has a week just as good this coming week....:P

The image rocks. But the hamstrings are phenomenal! This could be a fitness poster with the caption,
"Break the monotony of your old workout!" or "Tied down to the same ol' workout?" ha
Congrats on the ribbon, you so deserved it!

The lighting in this photograph is beautiful.

Wouldn't mind seeing just a silhouette of the legs, by making the lower portion of the shot even darker. Nicely setup and cool touch with the link flying out there.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

WOW! Now that's cool, well done! Nothing less than a 10 from me and I predict that we'll see this on the front page!

A little bit of sensuality lifts this above almost all the 99 other "chain" photos in the challenge. Technically, it's all fine apart from the chain itself, which just looks a bit odd.

My favorite in this challenge. I love the lighting and the link of chain in mid air is icing on the cake. This should ribbon.

beautiful - well done 10

Free or falling? Like the low ket nature of this shotexcellent lighting and the centred composition works well. Possibly a touch to dark for some but I quite like the way it accentuates both the chain and the form of the legs

WOW - so well executed. Perfection in the lighting department.

Yeah, but too bad she's suspended 80 stories up off the side of a skyscraper. :( LOL

Great job here! Well thought out and nicely executed.
