I still get baffled how you get such clarity w/ home made emulsion. Tones a re mostly dark, but unambiguously clear.

Composition - is sweet - like a crisp version of one of John K's more abstract shots. The low key also downplays those queues of modernity (fixture, soap dispenser). I really love the images that give dignity to the everyday work, places or tools.
 
I love it - beautiful tones and dark shadows.
 
Oh and thank you for the compliments. My wife said she really liked this one. I originally intended to overexpose the light coming through the window, but I think exposing for it, and then playing in the shadows and with the backlit stuff was more fun.
