I like the background and whatever you did to make this photo look like it does ( a filter in photoshop? maybe even an illegal editing action). Why didn't you show more of the machine?

Composition is very good..works well in gray scale...a little less sharpening IMO of the sewing machine would add to the photo.

I actually kinda like the grain, adds to the "oldness" of the pic.
