Walt, I agree that the perched robin immediately strikes me as the strongest image of the three.
But I had another look at the first image. It's interesting because the shape of the bird is ambiguous -- it could be falling, or it could have been just shot from a cannon. :-) Anyway, try this: crop out the RHS of the image, about 20% of it, until there are just three primary shapes in the image: bird, fencepost, and tree-line. Maybe crop out some of the LHS too, for balance. I see a slightly surreal and interesting image there. Maybe make it B&W too.
