I am no expert but the way I see the image is - too cluttered, try taking a photo of the iron alone with a one colored & non reflective background......

My idea of black and white photography is delivering a drama of timelessness or expressing the mystery of time. You could have tried an older functional flat-iron as subject instead of an steam-iron w a cord that appears to be connected w an electric tape. I can still remember flat irons using coal way back 35 yrs ago! That would come out as historical or what have you... you may also want to try maneuver the framing by adjusting the subject with the arc where the wall clock is hanging. It appears that your camera is tilted to about 10degrees to the right. Tilting a camera may give some effect but for this photo try to follow the lines of the arc. The sharpness of the subject and depth of field is good! Post some more of your pictures here. :) That's my two cents worth.

wow! thanks for the comments! will try that in my next captures.

i guess what i like about black and white photos are the well defined details of the subject in focus and its contrast to the unfocused background. those lines really show up in black and whites.

here's another one from the same set.:

Which is the subject in your 2nd photo??? Every photo has to have a subject.:)

the subject is the person sitting and the chair. made it out of focus on purpose and instead gave the foreground focus to give the feel of looking into the other side of the room. as you peek, you only see a blurry scene and this somehow tickles your curiosity and invites you to come and see what's n the other side...

ok, just made that all up right now. peace!
