Most of the time, when we’re putting together a picture , we pay the most attention to what’s in the foreground. After all, it’s where most of the action happens. But sometimes the background is the main attraction! If you don’t know what “photobombing” means, Cambridge Dictionary defines it as “coming up behind or in front of someone while they are having their picture taken.” Even though it sounds like a childish thing to do, when it’s done right, it can be very funny.
Most of these surprising photos are one-of-a-kind shots that the photographers will tell their grandchildren about. In the gallery below, you can look at these funny pictures where the background is even better than the foreground.
