An Interesting shot, with mucky debris.
I like the muted colours of the metal

The easiest sounding themes are usually the hardest aren't they (at least to get something different).
I feel there is a better shot in there though.
Perhaps close in on a link of the chain with the stone behind it, or shot through the greenery.
I think a crop would work on this one Martin, there’s some lovely detail around the padlock and the leafy growth on the right, it’s not the most exciting topic so I think you’ve done well with your choice.
I like that. I like locks & chains. But the pic is still mostly rock.As recommended, I have cropped in a bit. I didn't want to go in too far because the closer in I went, the further from the brief 'Rock/Stone' the picture becomes and ends up as 'chain' or 'lock' or some such with a post in the background. Still not sure which I prefer but I'd probably not submit either one to Shutterstock
For me, it needs something "real" to give a sense of scale. When I first saw this, there is nothing indicating the wizard isn't 6" tall and the plant about 2ft. Put a person in the frame and I'd be "yes. OK. that is a big plant!"
Tall
I was digging Phormium plants up, of about the same height before Christmas. They're b***dy heavy.
The wizard is about three feet tall so the sword plant is pushing seven to eight feet
Now, about that dogs ear
You have just nipped the top off it. There should be some daylight above the top of an animals head, to get the most from it..Why? What have I done to it? Have I missed something? I'm panicking now.
