I would suggest you to use tabular like:

\begin{figure}[!h]
{ \centering \begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline
\includegraphics[width=0.4\columnwidth]{pic11.eps}& \includegraphics[width=0.4\columnwidth]{pic12.eps}\\ text  for pic11 & text for pic 12 \\\hline
\includegraphics[width=0.4\columnwidth]{pic11.eps}& \includegraphics[width=0.4\columnwidth]{pic12.eps}\\ text for pic11 & text for pic 12 \\\hline
\includegraphics[width=0.4\columnwidth]{pic11.eps}& \includegraphics[width=0.4\columnwidth]{pic12.eps}\\ text for pic11 & text for pic 12 \\\hline
\includegraphics[width=0.4\columnwidth]{pic11.eps}& \includegraphics[width=0.4\columnwidth]{pic12.eps}\\ text for pic11 & text for pic 12 \\\hline
\end{tabular} \par }
\caption{big figures}
\end{figure}
