Thank you all for your comments. I guess I'll answer this one in English for most of the comments I got where in Shakespeare's verb.
It's a bit strange that as I look back at this second semester and try to self evaluate my work, I come back to this serie of winter landscapes as my most satisfying job. Strange it is because I work on it not as a school project but more as escape project to bring me back to what I always liked about photography...The medium. These picture where taken using a 15$ Fujifilm "Quick Snap Panorama" disposable camera. I had to bust it open to put a Ilford Delta 100 (ei 800) film in there, tape it all up with electric tape to prevent light leaks. And because the disposable was not set for a film that slow, all the negatives where under exposed. Knowing so, I pushed the developing very hard by not diluting my solution and by extending slightly the developing time. This explain the very High grain look on all the images.
When looking at them, I really felt like each one of those pictures had some kind of an answer or a reply to an other one of the lot. I could not help it but to build them up into diptychs. There are a few subtle details that I personaly find very efficent like the answering vanishing points in pan2 dip3, pan1 dip1 and dip5. Even more, the sugestion the path of the top frame in pan1 dip4 continuing into the lower frame's shadow area.
Anyways, Even if I ended up using only one of the frame for a school assignement, I was happy to submit them for 2 photo magazine contest which i sure hope to win.
