Yes, different situations call for different actions. I was giving the general
rule, but if you feel that it would be better to identify the people in the
images, that's fine with me. Whatever is less confusing for the reader!
Thanks for allowing me to clarify! Carrie

Hi, Carrie!
I am leaving them as is (like your description) since I was already halfway
through this book when I thought to ask, but in this case identifying
information is immediately before or after the pictures, so my guess is it
would be okay to at least identify the central character? In this book I think
it is actually more confusing to leave names out.
I guess situations may dictate?
