silhouette for profile on baseball player

[grego]

My college paper is running an article on this player, DJ Lewis who was drafted by the Chicago Cubs. I haven't selected a photo I want to use(need to have his face in atleast one of them), but since its going online, I want to use more than one photo. So here's the silhouette I like and want to use. I kinda wanted to get him looking out onto the field for his last time because he's off to the pro levels now. Your thoughts? :)

I think it needs to be brightened up just a bit. Total silhouettes only work for me if the entire background is bright and interesting. He blends a bit too much into the wall and ceiling of the dugout in this one I think. Great idea and I think that pensive mood can be portrayed a little better with some quick work.

Thanks for the input. Needed atleast a few other opinions.

You mean me posting another one?

no I just worked one up real quick to show you what I was talking about. I don't like to post edits of other people's photos without permission.
