A big case of captions narrowly defining images which could've had a broader meaning if they could not be so easily: written off. When we click picture we are greeted by information; technical and subjective. Then we scroll down and experience the full picture. I'd show them the pictures first. Then tell them what to think about it. Give the pictures a chance to stand by themselves and do their picture-like thing. Are the captions and words in there because the photographer fears the pictures would be weaker without the buildup? The photographer wants the picture to me to us what it exactly means to him? In my opinion your pictures would easily stand by themselves - they are quite strong and effective. The captions and words above the images weaken them.
