I am not big on titles and captions, unless we're talking about a major project in which you need to give the viewer some sense of what you're trying to accomplish. But those photos, particularly the wide shots, say "isolation," "winter," "cold," "abandonment," "lonely," etc. etc. I was judging them as photos, not as photos of winter. However, knowing that you were going for winter in the earlier group, I had to say that these accomplish what I didn't see the other's accomplishing. But I just plain like them. :-) B. D.
