Love the silhouettes, the second one is very clever.
Thanks, mate, it's my favourite of the two as well. I think, is the ball connected more to the activity (the hands releasing it) or the similar shaped object in the pic (the sun)?
Not that I don't mind the first. In a portrait you work hard to make sure the subject's chin appears separate from the neck, the arm is distinct from the body, etc, or they look fatter. This is even harder to achieve in a silhouette.
Took enough frames of different cyclists and had a bit of luck to get this one where there's not much overlap in limbs, body and bike.
