No, definitely not just a silhouette, unless that is exactly what the environment conditions dictate or the piece really needs. Render them enough to show us what they are, but don't go into too much detail. Have a look at any environment concept or production pieces out there. In the good ones the people are rarely just afterthoughts, they are an integral part of setting the scene. Also, if you can I would really like you to try and stay away from the guy with a stick. Yeah it works, we've all done it, but it is really boring. Try and think of other ways characters could be interacting in your scenes if you can, if the setting requires people.
