Thanks for still answering.
Lets take now the close crop to the hand that kind of you guys liked... I am trying to understand when we need more information about the background... as I find that this shot does not reveal where it was taken...
The full versions I posted just afterwards show that this is a train and it was perhaps rather empty as two seats behind were empty.
How much of the background we need to give side information and how much we can crop it out by reserving this time of information?
I tried several croppings but I do not really get this relation.
More samples of other thinks I have tried would follow

Do we need to know where it is? I think the disembodied hand works fine, revealing more background would distract the viewer. The crop was almost perfect. I think from your comments you are not 100% certain exactly what you are doing. That's not a bad thing, you ask for opinions and almost all are positive. Accept the positives and don't question yourself, you must be doing something right! More please!!

No not cut from, but separated from as it appears to be on its own in the image with no visible arm or person behind it. We know its attached to someone we can't see.

The bike should be either in the frame completely or out of it completely in my opinion. as it is its cut off.
However it is an interesting image, you use light, shade and black and white to good effect. You have an imaginative eye.
edit: (leaving my original comment as it is rather than changing it) The more you look at it the better it seems. The composition is non-standard, I would have tried to use the rule of thirds but the way you did it has a pleasing effect.
my version with the rule of thirds applied, not as powerful as yours.

Technically nice but does nothing for me. The wooden furniture distracts from the painted chair which seems to be the subject.

There's no narrative to it, it's just furniture. Has the child left? were they taken? or are they yet to arrive? There's nothing to intrigue the viewer.

You are an imaginative photographer, not afraid to try things different. Despite what we say keep on doing it. What you think of the picture is most important. Everyone has an opinion.
The picture of the little girl is good, none of it is framed to my liking which is why I never commented. I always shoot wide when experimenting allowing plenty of cropping.
The wheel pic... well its a wheel pic. Nicely done and I've seen similar in exhibitions and magazines but it does nothing for me.
Keep 'em coming!
