I agree with Brian and the others. With the shot of the fog on the sea, the out-of-focus capture means that we cannot see the fog on the sea, we just see a foggy picture. A nice sharp capture would have given us identifiable ships in the foreground and naturally foggy sea in the background, all nicely composed and with the foreground-background contrast telling the story. The second shot is interesting but to me seems too staged, like the shadow-puppet thing we used to do in school. Or not staged enough. The position of the hand-shadows doesn't say anything to me - they are just a bunch of shadows. A hand with a dagger... Two figures embracing... scenes like that would tell a story. The snow shot is nice. There is nothing in the picture to localize it - it could be anyplace in the world that has snow. That means that this cannot be about the rarity of snow in the Tel Aviv area, it needs to stand on its own as an interesting abstract pattern. It does that nicely.
