It is quite beautiful!
I also find the chain bothersome. Personally, I would try cropping out the top of the column and the chain just to make it more of an abstract image.
although I do have to criticize... there is some emotion lacking, that sense of how incredibly swelteringly hot, muggy, humid, and sweaty is was in there at the time.
LOL, Matt...you got that right. Not sure I put enough in this one, but it sure felt like it at the time. With all the heat and humiditiy (not to metion all the sweat) it should look much better than this.
