Three Black and Whites

While searching through google images for black and white photographs, these three grasped my attention.  Although the subjects are completely unrelated, the feeling they evoke is uniform.  A romantic, yet mysterious and dark emotion is portrayed.  The subjects - a crow, a cat, and a women - have been all viewed at one point as "evil" or seductive.  The essence of foreboding seeps from each image and gives them the intriguing quality that originally lept at me.
