Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It's a high-contrast photographic image - you can get that effect on photos by changing to black and white and increasing the contrast significantly!. Silhouette is close, but what you show is more a high-contrast image and it differs from a silhouette in that it has detail within the outline shape where a silhouette is solid black with little or no definition, and the only detail is on the outside edges!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sillouettes, I think is what you're refering to!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
