585th Show & Tell Competition: Juxtaposition of person and background - WINNER

[kzaret]

I thank those who entered this contest and am sorry to those for whom the topic didn't resonate, as we didn't get many entries. On the other hand, we got very interesting photos. The subject of this competition is opportunistic, you have to chance upon it. A lesson to carry your camera as much as you can! Here are my faves:

Honorable mentions, in no particular order:

Peter Schultz


Markus Grompe:


A playful image from Jarek M.:


Scezepan:


Marcel de Jong, sort of a triple play between the child, the bush, and the painted bush in the background



And the winners are...


Third place, Flo Hendry: Simple, effective interaction between foreground and background


Second place, Peter Schultz: I like the contemplative nature of the image, best seen original where you can see the harlequin looking at the woman viewing the picture:


And the winner is: Markus Grompe, with this killer shot that may well have scared off other entrants. Hugely impactful:
