Thanks for the suggestions, Bruce. Here's what I came up with based on them, 
and I think you're right; it makes for a stronger image:

Very nice.  Can you crank up the contrast a bit more too, so that the white is 
full white, and the black is full black?

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.

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!
