Thanks for your comments and encouragement! I will try to add to the collection but not anytime soon. My schedule will eat up most of my waking hours for a long while with few opportunities for pictures.
Best, regards

This first one was not my favorite as the one below simply mesmerized me and I was so diverted that I didn’t pay enough attention the first several visits.
It grows on me, as there is so much “missing”, hidden in shadows, that now make the image intriguing.
“Incompleteness” can actually be a generous gift tobthe art lover as it allows us to arrive each different day “primes” with new ideas, concerns and necessities, all of which can modulate and guide us, as we explore the unknown. So this first picture now gets my highest rating.
This one below, James, as you know is the one that prompted me to ask for a series with the chiaroscuro esthetics.
I like the solitude here and the mood.

Much appreciated Asher! Sometimes small treasures can be found in simple gestures and life's pleasures.

James,
We need that exta effort you committed yourself to, as it’s the essence of the best work here. What you do to excel for your own joy, is the best addition for us too!
No matter how pressed a photographer is with family and getting the leaking roof or radiator fixed, done let a week go by without one picture you can treasure for ever.
Amongst us, there’s at least a few who’s work folk will discuss for generations.
I just want to have known them all!

What I see is so helpful in making the image so strong, is the value of black in isolating the key features, even tough the lens could easily get all the bg clutter included.
“Darkness”, as opposed to “Bokeh” is so effective!

Thank you for your input Asher!
I was intrigued by the high quality baskets. Although I am bit perplexed as to what folks do with them in these modern times. I cant image anyone using them to pack groceries from the store, or fruit,vegetables from the garden? Maybe a romantic picnic on a warm summer day under a large shade tree?
Best, regards
