Do you have Photoshop? If you do, find a high resolution picture of a rainforest you want to use...at least a couple of megs..the higher the better.
Take your picture, and crop (box) around your image, and CROP the image down to that box. Now start deleting all the background around your body, use eraser tool, magic wand, any combination to get rid of everything. You can do a lot of it with the 'lasso' tool by tracing your body image, 'select inverse' and delete.
Then zoom in close and delete the final pixels around your outline to clean it up, then use the 'magic wand' and click on the blank background and delete it all. This will give you a transparent background.
Select 'all' and COPY, then go to your picture of the rain forest, add a 'new layer' and 'paste' your image in that new layer. If you can't see the rainforest, then the background came through as 'white' and you have to magic wand it again and delete it again. Once you can see the rainforest behind your picture you can 'lasso' your image and move it, resize it, whatever until it looks the way you want on the background. Takes a little bit of practice but it can be done.

If you don't got photoshop, I'd be more than happy to help. I don't know if it will turn out that great though, but I can at least try. Well... IM me if you need any help.
