Occasionally, I'll see something that's terribly back-lit, but still
strikes me as having the potential to make a reasonably compelling image
as a silhouette. That's happened a couple of times over the past couple
of days, so I thought I'd get some feedback on the images.

All three were taken with the K20D and Promaster 70-300 4-5.6.
Of the three, I'm more partial to the robin on the fencepost with the
cricket in its beak. Any thoughts as to whether these images work or not
would be appreciated.
Thanks!
There's something about the first one that draws my eye. It's like a
photo from the early days of B&W small format cameras when shutter
speeds & film speeds were finally fast enough to show things the eye
can't quite see.
Thanks, John. That's essentially the impression I got from it when I
started processing it. What detail was available in the original image
almost seemed to be extraneous, and it wasn't until I stripped it down
to its basic elements -- the things that earlier equipment strove to
capture -- that it seemed to work.
