Your object seems to be glowing like a saint.
The way you've treated the lighting with the white background tells me that you want it to look positive. Another thing, in the image, I can't tell what it is which is maybe good, maybe bad? I do see that it is metal, and that it's old. Because of the lighting also, the shadow makes it seem that the object is being seen from the front like usual but at the same time, since it is cropped, it is confusing to the viewer.
Now from Knowing what your object is, a meat grinder, I still can't recall what part this is from, i'm guessing the part that holds on to the table?
Then looking at the real object which sits right behind me, my guess wasn't too far off. The color in the image is dramatically different. Your image makes the object look clean, almost new compared to how it really is, dark gray and worn.
Your image makes your object look clean, sleek almost, and good.
I posted from the wrong account. (i have two) sry.
The lighting was supposed to be the big selling point on this as positive. so, great. the ideas behind the cropping and point of view was that, I knew my audience was going to be someone in my class, who knew what the object was, so I figured that I was afforded a certain level of ambiguity in my cropping.
My feelings toward the point of view are that it along with the crop are supposed to make you sympathize with the object, sort of like it is lying down in a white room with bright lights, like a mental patient or something. I my thinking was if the light makes you think positive, then this placement which is supposed to make you feel sympathy would also make you think positive because I wouldn't want you to feel sympathy for something i felt negatively about.
