    I like it, Awais! I was thinking that it is overall too dark for my taste but the more I look at it the more I like it. You might try a little tweeking with curves to bring out detail in the left hand side of the head and the needle area without blowing out the bright areas. Altogether, very, very nice.

    Absolutely. They don't make machines as pretty as that anymore. I agree with Virginia's comments. You need to increase the contrast to make it pop more. I like the black background, but the machine itself needs to be brighter.

    Very nice Awais.

    I am not generally a big fan of selective color, but it is easy to overlook the flow of the fabric beneath the foot. Selective color of the cloth might be just what's needed.

    It is a lovely machine. They knew how to make beautiful machinery didn't they?

    Oh yes! You should reshoot this. What a beautiful machine! I'm writing this on a little break from my own sewing machine, which I really like, but it's a new fangled machine and not nearly so pretty to look at.

    Again - yes, re-shoot. Love to see more of this beautiful 'machine'. Try some different angles. What is beneath that engraved cover??

    I agree, definitely reshoot it! I've got one like it myself & didn't even think of that! Great Idea. I also like the b/w effect.

    I think there is great potential here. I would like to see a little more of the sewing machine and not just the front. good work!
