Fairly urgent help needed on Adobe InDesign

[homeforsummer]

Hi people, I've a fairly pressing time limit for this so if anyone can assist as quickly as possible I'd be very grateful.

I'm using InDesign to create a newspaper article. I'm trying to cut out an image but I'm not sure how well it's working.

I've been using the pen tool to cut out a line around an image I want so I can just have the feature itself - in this case, a cricketer. However, when I take the cut-out and drag it to where I want, it doesn't seem to bring the picture with it - I don't understand why. See what I mean below:

That black shape should ideally have a picture inside it!

What am I doing wrong? Or is that just showing where the image is... or should I have cut it out another way...

Please help!

This is a complete shot in the dark but it's not a layer issue from where you're copying the image from is it?

Also, I didn't know Bob McKenzie was a writer.

Thanks for the reply, I've no idea what it was but I left the silhouette there in the end and worked around it. It has a cool iPod advert-like vibe to it, I reckon.

As for the Bob McKenzie thing, I think he's the motorsport correspondent for the Daily Express, which was the newspaper I was re-designing for my course. Once it's been marked I'll host it somewhere but until then the full thing should probably be kept behind closed doors.
