Photos are the best way to commemorate memories of occasions you don't want to forget. Sometimes details get blurred along the years and one photo can bring that all back within seconds. Photos of occasions, birthdays, family dinners and vacations, these are all beautiful memories with special people. Another amazing thing about photos is they sometimes capture moments you least expect. Sometimes it's all about perspective, and often the background can end up being more interesting and amusing than the foreground. From dogs doing their business, smiling fish, zombie horses, bicycle gangs and celebrities photobombing family dinners and weddings, here are 50 Photos With Better Backgrounds Than Their Foregrounds.

The Royals Not So Royal Moment
"In Honor Of The Royal Wedding, I Present My Friend Derek Getting Photobombed By Prince Harry While Working The Invictus Games Last Year"
Prince Harry was known as something of a rebel in his younger years, growing from a cheeky child into a mischievous teen, and then a bit of a royal heartthrob in his 20s. Seems like you can take the boy out of the mischief, but you can't take the mischief out of the boy.
Our Favorite Christ The Redeemer
"This Is Perhaps The Best Photo Ever Taken In Rio"
Christ the Redeemer is an Art Deco statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, created by French sculptor Paul Landowski and built by Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa.

Two Horses Are Better Than One
"Came Across The Greatest Photobomb Ever"
Although horses are such well-known animals, the following facts may surprise you about these magnificent creatures. Horses are “obligate nose breathers” meaning that they can only breathe through their nose and not through their mouths.

Trying To Get The Perfect Photo

German Shepherds are one of the most popular breeds of dog in the world. Dog lovers adore the loyal nature of this breed as it makes them fantastic pets. German Shepherd Dogs have played starring roles in many Hollywood movies. One of the first German Shepherds to reach the heights of fame was called Strongheart. He first appeared on screen in 1921. His registered name was Etzel von Oeringen and he was bred by a private breeder in Germany in 1917. These dogs are obviously trained to be on camera and they are absolutely born to be!
Photobombed By A Dolphin
Dolphins are extremely acrobatic and are known for their impressive performances both in their natural habitat and at aquatic shows. Dolphins can leap over 25 feet in the air, and perform tricks such as jumping through hoops, flipping through the air, and balancing on their tails above the water.
It’s no secret that dolphins love to play, so sometimes when they jump, it’s just to have fun! For dolphins, playing also keeps their keen senses sharp and at their best. Dolphins jump so they get a “bird’s eye” view of the water and to see what is going on above sea level. This is for many reasons to check out the weather, identify potential threats, or to locate prey. This little guy just happened to be caught on camera from afar!
My Friend The Camel
"Making Friends With Some Locals In Morocco A Few Weeks Ago. The Guy In The Back Liked To Photobomb Every Pic And I Wasn’t Complaining"
We all know camels for their distinctive humps and fascinating ability to survive weeks to months without drinking, but they can also run at up to 40 mph. They are desert-dwelling animals that are now mostly domesticated, with very few still free to roam wild. In fact, they play such an important role in Arabic communities that there are over 100 words for camel in the Arabic language!
Fly Like The Wind

Time Travel Photobomb
"This Is My Mother (On The Left) And Her Friends At A Concert And It Appears That They Time Traveled And Photobombed Themselves"
We all have memories of doing things while we were younger and wishing we could relive those days over and do them again. It's not every day you get to really re-live your past by seeing it in your present, but sometimes a happy reminder can be exactly what you need!
Make Sure Your Windows Are Clean
"Went To Take A Picture Of My Girlfriend At Brunch When Suddenly"
We don't know what it is about kids and transparent glass windows, but where there's a kid and a window theres a face squash. We just hope that those windows were cleaned before and after this photo was taken!
A Snow White Moment
"While Taking Wedding Photos In The Park, We Were Visited By A Friendly Family Of Trash Pandas! They Checked Us Out For A Few Minutes, Then Went On Their Way"
There is nothing more beautiful than photos that are taken in the moment and end up looking extraordinary, despite not being planned. Taking photos in nature raises those chances, and for this couple, this photo will be one for the frame. We would just love to know what happened after this shot was taken.
'Man' Bun
The Man Bun is noted for being worn in China during 200 B.C. This helps explain why Man Buns are often found on terracotta soldier statues from this time. The hairstyle was retired at the end of the Ming Dynasty (in AD 1644) and replaced with the queue hairstyle.
In 16th century Japan, the Man Bun became the hairstyle of choice for sumo wrestlers and samurai warriors. But this particular man bun is possibly the newest of its kind, and we're loving it!
Watch Out For The Zombie Horse
Horses have existed for 50 million years. Our own human history has been greatly shaped by our partnership with these creatures, and they have been shaped by us as well; since domesticating the horse 6,000 years ago, humans have created hundred of breeds, used for everything from racing and war to plowing and pulling carts and carriages.
Sometimes their natural reflexes can make for some pretty amazing photos. When a horse curls its upper lip and raises its head in the air, many people see it as a funny face or an expression of laughter. But this behavior is called the flehmen response, and it's about getting a better whiff of an interesting smell.
Bicycles Are Also Welcome In The Motorbike Gang
"When You Take A Picture While Riding And A Local Dude Is Photobombing You"
There are many different reasons why some people prefer riding a bicycle over a motorbike. Cycling addresses a bunch of health issues as compared to riding a motorbike, since it involves every muscle in your body. Cycling is a form of exercise that helps in lowering body fat percentage, lowering cholesterol, reducing the risk of contracting heart diseases, lowering stress levels, and so much more. Motorbikes not only come with a lot of baggage, but also with a heavy price tag. But who said despite their differences they can't be part of the same group!
Family Photo: x2
"This Family That Photobombed Us"
Trying to get a photo in public can sometimes be awkward. Trying to get a photo with your family can be an entirely different ordeal, especially trying to gather up all the kids. So if you can get a family photo driving by then that might be the easier alternative, you just have to drive around looking for the perfect moment.

Cat Vs Dogs
"Cats Cannot Let Dogs Live In Peace"
The myth of cats and dogs being at great odds with each other has been long spoken about. But, dogs and cats living together is very much possible despite their differences. Sometimes, cats and dogs aren't going to get along. This is especially true if one or both of the animals has experienced a hostile living environment prior to moving in with their loving pet parents. But sometimes having the to together makes for some funny and memorable moments.
Cute Witness
Dolphins are beautiful creatures with a very welcoming presence. But it is also important to note dolphins may look like they’re happy to us, but their “smiles” not what we presume.
When humans smile, we signal happiness, contentment, and enjoyment to each other. But for a dolphin, it is not an expression of joy but simply an anatomical anomaly. Despite this being true, this photo is one of the cutest that we've encountered yet.
When Nature Calls
Through the ages, people have claimed dogs as one of their closest, and best, companions. Of all the domesticated animals, dogs serve the widest array of roles: protector, helper, lifesaver, and companion. Dogs are incredible friends to people, and they’ve been companions through centuries. The relationship between dogs and people is deep and old.
But despite this ever long loving and loyal relationship between man and dog, when nature calls none of that matters. When a dog has to go, they have to go, and not even a romantic photoshoot will stop this.
Chicken On The Run
"Photobombed My Brother's Wedding Photos"
Amongst many of the talents, chickens are extremely quick and hard to catch. In addition, their color vision is better than humans due to a well-organized eye with five types of light receptors enabling them to see many colors in any given part of the retina. Recent studies have shown that chickens are intelligent creatures with many traits similar to those of primates. Chickens can demonstrate complex problem-solving skills and have super-sensory powers such as telescopic eyesight and almost 360-degree vision like owls. They comprehend cause and effect, pass on their knowledge, demonstrate self-control, and even worry. So catching them is a tricky task!
When I Say Jump, You Jump
We’ve all seen viral dances, pranks, skits, stories, and challenges make their way from TikTok to other media platforms; sometimes it’s hard to keep up with what’s what.
In the latest video trends on TikTok, people are dancing in the foreground with people following the same dance in the distant background. Although it may be planned it is still very pleasing to watch.
When In Greece
The culture, the people, the food, the chaos, there is something so special about being abroad, especially in Greece. Everything moves slower, the locals are beautiful and let's not forget the extraordinary scenery that looks like one of Monets paintings.
Where there is beauty there may sometimes be a little unexpected chaos. But what happens in Greece stays in Greece, we're definitely not going to let one immodest man ruin our perspective.
Just A Couple And A Brown Spotted Intruder
"My Wife And I Photobombed By A Giraffe"
Well known for their long necks, these gentle giants are the world’s tallest living land animals. A giraffe’s height is helpful for keeping a look out for predators, such as lions and hyenas. Their excellent eyesight allows them to spot hungry beasts from far away, too. They are very social animals and roam around in groups. These groups, called towers, typically have around 15 members led by an adult male. The other members are females and young males. Sometimes you might just get a snap of one trying to intrude on your photo!
Hello From The Tube Man
A tube man, also known as a skydancer, air dancer and originally called the Tall Boy, is an inflatable moving advertising product comprising a long fabric tube with two or more outlets, which is attached to and powered by an electrical fan.
For some people it's a creepy ballon man, for others it's a great advertising tool to call for business attention. Whether you're a fan of the tube man or not, we can all agree this photo was perfectly timed.
The Jealousy Is Real
According to experts, jealous-like behaviors in pets typically suggest boredom or a ploy for attention from their owners. Sometimes, just like people, they can feel insecure.
Sometimes our pets behave in a way that suggests they are jealous. When we bend down to pet another dog, our pup may shove his way in front of us, knocking our hand away from his canine companion. Although the behavior is typically unhealthy to condone, it can be really cute to see!
Mini Donkey Photobomb
Donkeys, also called burros and asses, are found throughout the world. They are members of the Equidae family, which also includes horses and zebras. They look a lot like their cousins, but have long, floppy ears and tend to be stockier than horses or zebras.
Donkeys can form very close friendships with one another that last a lifetime. A bonded pair of donkeys are so close to each other that separation from each other can actually cause such acute stress as to make them very unwell. This little guy seems to be finding some new friends!
Stingray On Vacation!
"My Parents Met A Friendly Stingray On Vacation"
Stingrays come in all shapes and sizes and are one of the most beautiful creatures in the sea, but let’s face it, they are a little bizarre looking! Amongst many of their very amusing qualities these guys are pretty unique as they have no bones in their body, their skeleton is made up of flexible cartilage.
Accidents Happen Sometimes
"This Couple Wanted Dust In The Air For Their Wedding Photos, The Best Man Made It Happen... And Then Some"
When the bride and groom have a request on their wedding day, their bridal party must oblige. Even if that means doing something you're probably not trained to do. We think these two need to keep this loyal groomsman by their side, because it seems he's willing to go to any lengths for his friends.
The Perfect Swimming Companion
There are 33 species of pinnipeds alive today, most of which are known as seals. Pinnipeds can be found on every continent on Earth, though most species occur in cold-water environments.
With so much time spent in water, some species like the elephant seals have evolved the ability to hold their breath for up to two hours and dive to depths of more than 6,500 feet looking for food. Or find the time to take photos with some divers!
One Is Never Too Old To Photobomb A Bikini Shot
Age is most definitely just a number, and we cannot be more pleased to see people embracing their rage rather than hiding away because of it. There is no shame in dressing up or down despite how old you are!
Better yet, take a photo of it to commemorate your brave and commendable moment. In fact we encourage everyone to step out of their comfort zone and enjoy some time at the beach or doing something they feel like doing, despite how old you may be.
I Tried To Subtly Crash A Prom
A promenade dance, commonly called a prom, is a dance party for high school students, prominently most famous in American culture.
Prom isn't for everyone, some people don't particularly enjoy their high school proms, and don't end up going. But on those rare occasion that a sudden change of mind may occur, or you miss your own prom and want to crash another, just follow this kids lead.
That Friend No-One Notices
There's always that one friend, that is so reserved you can't even tell is around most of the time.
There is nothing wrong with being the quite one in the group, but sometimes you may not appear as vividly in pictures as the rest of your friends, at least you'll still be in it!
Raising The Bar On Pigtail Fashion
As it turns out, the term “pigtail” has been used ever since the early 1600s. Back then, though, it was used to describe a twist of tobacco. During the curing process, tobacco leaves would be twisted together to dry faster. Pigtails became very popular among soldiers and sailors in the 1700s.
Pigtails have been around for about as long as hair itself. No one knows for sure when people first parted their hair down the middle and collected it into a “tail” on each side. But chances are it was hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago. But this is probably the cutest image of ponytails we've seen. She has us completely in the palm of her hands with this cute style!
People Watching
"Took A Pic Of My "Hidden" UPS Package And My Cat Decided To Bomb The Photo"
There is something quite fascinating about cats, other than the personalities they individually take on. Cats have a funny way of doing the strangest things and making the strangest noises. Almost every cat owner knows exactly where to look when their cat goes missing in the house, the closest window overlooking the street. Cats are great at people watching, and we are so amused!
That One Friend That Always Takes Photos
We're all blessed with that one friend that is always ready to take photos of us when we ask. They keep taking photos until we're satisfied with the one, and often we are not!
Especially if we're taking photos in public, something is bound to go wrong. Most of the time we end up with so many photos it's hard to pick the good one out of the bunch. We think in this case, this is definitely it!
You Can't See Me
"The Face When You Notice Them Trying To Hide"
It's rare you find people in public willing not to walk by or disturb while a photo is being taken. Then there are those that go the extra mile. We all know how important that photo is for instagram, and we love seeing other people understand that too! Props goes out to this family for being such supportive sports!
Curious Dog
"Nova Was Curious As To Why I Went Outside Without Her, So She Photobombed"
Dogs are curious creatures by nature and that curiosity can get your pooch into trouble from time to time - or all of the time! As a dog owner, you have likely experienced your dog's curious nature first hand, especially when they were a puppy. There are so many sights, sounds, and smell to explore. Especially when your dog isn't getting enough attention they will get to the bottom of what has their owner so distracted.
Trapped In The Air
"My Friend Took This Picture Of His Son At The Mall. Noted Kid In Background"
The best photos are the ones we get by complete accident. We've all experienced that moment where we're taking a photo of a friend, child, or object and something pops up in the background that is priceless! We just hope someone got to this kid in time and he wasn't hanging there for too long.
When You Get Pushed Out Of The Photo Push Back
There has always been a time where we miss being in a photo, or get pushed out of one intentionally or not.
Next time you want to be in a photo but find yourself pushed out, find a way back in. Take this girl for instance, her resilience is admirable, she will not be backing down easily.
Photo With A Fish
There are lots of fish in the sea, some of which have yet to be discovered. Of those that have been, currently there is just over 27,000 species of fish that exists.
They come in all different shapes and sizes, and some are too cute to resist. Especially in photos were they often seem like they're smiling. Scuba divers often have to Pre-visualize the type of shots they want when they are diving. Lens selection is very important, a 10mm fisheye lens can capture an entire school. A 12-24mm or 17-70mm lens can capture a tight frame of selective members of the school, which is a good idea if the fish are large and/or colorful. Looking at this photo you wouldn't think how much planning goes into getting one shot, sometimes it probably does happen completely by accident. Other times it's carefully planned.
Always Check The Background
"Reminder To Always Check Your Background When Taking Pictures"
Dogs are great – they provide us with love, companionship and are always there when we need them. Dogs have extraordinary skills. The area of cells in the brain that detect different smells is around 40 times larger in dogs than humans. This means that your dog can pick up on way more smells than we ever could. There have been a few studies around this and it turns out that just like us, dogs have a preferred paw to lead with. Studies have shown that dogs can learn over 100 words and gestures, which puts their intelligence and understanding of us on a par with a two year old. Amongst their many amazing skills, bad timing is definitely one of them!
That Time Our Wedding Photo Got Photobombed
"Got Married Last Week. My Favorite Picture From The Night Got Photobombed By My Buddy"
