I would say the object is shown in a negative tone.
The black and white image, in combination with the lighting (flash?), give it the feel of a crime scene documetation photograph, making it feel very gritty. As for your cropping, I'm not sure if this is supposed to be your final image or not, as it isn't at the correct dimensions.
The methods of transmission used are: representational (via), mechanical.
Certain things could be considered "noise", such as the deep scratches in the side of the box. Do they add to, or alter the meaning in any way?
Michael is correct, I was trying to communicate my object in a negative tone. I based my image on the concept that the use of my object is becoming less and less relevant. Shoe shining is not as popular as it used to be, because more and more people are wearing tennis shoes or athletic shoes that don't require polishing. Business men still wear the leather shoes that need to be polished up every so often, but overall I think that my object is heading towards the path of extinction because these days, people just don't use shoe shining boxes as much!
I chose black and white because it makes me feel like it is an older, gritty image with negative connotations. While I am showing my object almost in full, I tried to use lighting to place emphasis on the end of the box- relating directly to my concept.
The noise on my actual object itself suggests that is an old, antique shoe shining box that has had its fair share of use. The scratches give it character and have connotations of it being an aged object.
