I think the first image is beautiful and thought provoking all on it's own, and I find the second image only distracting. The first image evokes a raw, personal, emotional response, and then the second tell me that I'm not allowed to just feel it for myself, but that the artist is trying to SAY something, dammit, so I need to sit and ponder and work out what the two photos mean from the artist's point of view. Some people like that, but to me it ruins the enjoyment and beauty of an image. It's my own opinion, but maybe food for thought.
