Macka - I'm a sucker for silhouettes, so I love them :) Only thing I would do is a slight crop in the first, to get rid of the edge of that rock on the right hand side (or crop it out), and maybe even put Rooboy on the right hand side of the crop (ie, not centre him so much).

ps - had a look at your link - cracked me up :)

#1 is great, but I'd crop or clone the little protruding piece of rock on the bottom RHS (the bit that isn't connected to the rest of the rock). All that you needed for the perfect moody image was the full moon in shot.

Great sihlouettes I think that #1 is a corker as the strongest (i agree with comments re-rocky knob lower right) of the captures. With a roman toga in place on the subject the scene could take on a biblical flavour with the perspective nicely fitting the mould for the sequel - Ben Hur 95 :)

love the first one.
It is only the darker OOF stuff in lower left that stops it being classic

rooboy's hair makes him look like michaelangelo's david in the first pic....the pose is similar too. thank goodness for our sake that he's wearing clothes and that it's a silhouette :P
