It's not copying. It's taking inspiration...

Exactly! And if anyone did, I’d be flattered

We were all there once! Even I didn't appear from the womb, taking a selfie and filtering it!

If it helps your self esteem, even seasoned pic posters like @kara1234 and @AuntieDisco have found this week hard. You've walked in and smashed it!

The secret to most people's journeys practice improves things.

My secret is the crop tool is always our bestest friend!

That's an awesome pic, but I've gotta say it's a shadow not a silhouette

While "silhouette" can have different meanings in different contexts, we're talking about photography. The car seems to be the main subject of your photo but is not in silhouette. There are shadows in the photo, but they appear to be there to add an interesting detail and effect to the overall photo, as opposed to being the focus.

"The subject of a silhouette can be people, animals or objects, identifiable by their outline or black shape against a colorful or well-lit background."
(https://www.nikonusa.com/en/learn-and-explore/a/tips-and-techniques/how-to-shoot-a-silhouette.html)

"Silhouette photography shows the dark outlines of subjects in front of contrasting, bright scenes such as sunsets or studio backdrops."
(https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography/discover/silhouette-photography.html)

ETA: This was also helpful to me in thinking about the difference...

"The terms “shadows” and “silhouettes” are often used interchangeably, but they’re not the same. A silhouette is a dark subject or object against a brighter background. The dark outlines of a subject or object are often depicted before bright scenes, such as sunsets or studio backdrops, to create a dramatic contrast.

Shadow photography differs from silhouette photography in that the object or subject is situated in front of the light source, and its outline is then projected onto a surface as a shadow. While silhouettes and shadows are created using different methods, both can appear in the same photo to create breathtaking results."
