John, aside from the obvious content and your choice of different lighting conditions I found myself spending a fair bit of time exploring the reflections, especially in the fist picture, to try and identify other objects in the room. There is something in each image for the viewer to engage with by way of the symbolism of the objects you've used and the time of day which I suspect has chronological relevance to the subjects. Well captured in the varying light conditions, which is not always easy with digital photography when there are many pixels in the modern cameras all wanting a slice of the available light.

all the best

to anticipate touching what is unseen seems far more interesting than seeing what the hand can not touch
