I would like to see your B&W processing be a bit less heavy-handed. Driving so much of the image to full black or full white results in lost details, and I quickly lose interest if I can't explore. The gears especially, and the cellar (?), I think lose something.
I find the overhead shot of the kayak to be the most successful in this set. Composition is fun, colors are great, and I think it tells its story well. The bench would be next for me. And I like the cellar shot, I just don't care for the PP.
Thanks for sharing. And if you aren't interested in commentary, just say so. And feel free to ignore this entire post.

It’s not like I even know what your own skills are. And as for deciding which is the best or better than others, it’s not like I’m offering them to you at a price.
But go ahead. Be as judgemental as you like. Your pronouncements muse me, take away some boredom and leave me wondering how all this might help anyone here.
