    That's very nice work, Ben. It may be your best set ever....anchored by a couple of really first-rate pictures.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    3 & 4 really stand out for me Ben. Argument in #3? The older man's arm raised says "leave me the heck alone" to me. The men on the right in shadow adds to the shady character.
    I always love hands and these initially give the impression of great tension in them, fighting the urge to take a swing. On second look, I can see they belong to an more frail man and it's likely the hand posture of arthritic hands or someone with contractures. Regardless, I like it.

    These are all strong. The last one is the one that speaks to me - very interesting.

    I agree, 4 captures a frustration and nervousness that is intriguing.

    As an arthritis sufferer, and given that it was a wet, cold day, I can assure you that Patti is probably correct.

    #4 - awesome image that dismantles objections to compositions "from the back" - it just has to be done as well as this one.
