Photos one and six operate fantastically as sort of high art, accumulated junk sculptures. Your exposures are spot on, and there's a nice balance between the heavy black weight of the tires and the lighter white (albeit grungy) toilet that is pleasingly symmetrical. The images offer glimpses into the lives of people, but are still totally elusive in their haphazardness. I know you were trying to approach your topic in terms of loneliness, and I think it's interesting that in the images without human or animal subjects, the objects being photographed seem to emote a sense of solitude or abandonment, as well.
First of all, your variation of tones is brilliant. Very nice editing and shooting. I love the thought behind each of these compositions, the way you have framed figures and objects brings out the exact feeling you're trying to evoke with your theme. Your second, sixth and tenth pictures are especially interesting to me. Pictures that I respond to less emotively would be 3 and 8 as they just don't have quite the same vibe as the others.
Formally, your exposure and attention to details are phenomenal. I admire that the tree branches in the sixth photograph help "enclose" or frame it. The motion the tire lines create are mimiced by the bucket's rim as well as the house's exterior. I found it interesting the the sixth and seventh photograph follow each other since the chicken and cat are reflecting their positions.
Your images work really well together. They do a great job of showing a type of lifestyle and the images seem very personal, which I think is really successful considering your theme. Your images with either animals or people are most successful in depicting a certain emotion and feeling. Overall, your images are well exposed and have a great tonal range.
