@Topobanana You have very nice control of the position at the positions you described. I will try to demonstrate some of the points that make it so favorable for you:
- Black's bishops are extremely passive. The Ba5 has no good squares and is just staring at well protected pawn chain, the Bc8 has only one move and it is terribly passive, mainly because of the e6 pawn.
- The Ra8 can't get into the game easily (which is a result of the bad Bc8)
- You have nice control of the center where black only controls d5
- The b7 pawn can become a target by activating your rook on the b file. If black chooses to defend it this means that one piece (either the Rb8 or the Bc8) will remain passive
- Black has no effective way of freeing up their position, the e6-e5 break can't be played at the moment and the move c7-c5 is still far away
I hope I have helped you, if you are interested in anything more feel free to ask or send me a private message if I can help you with coaching or any other way :)
