Yes, it is possible to see the Tkinter background behind an image. This can be achieved by setting the alpha (transparency) value of the image using the alpha composite feature in Tkinter. Here is an example code snippet:

from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk

root = Tk()
root.geometry("500x500")

# Open image and set alpha value
img = Image.open("image.jpg")
img.putalpha(128)

# Convert image to Tkinter PhotoImage
tk_img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img)

# Create label with image and pack it
label = Label(root, image=tk_img)
label.pack()

# Set background color of Tkinter root
root.configure(bg="blue")

root.mainloop()

In this example, we opened an image and set its alpha value to 128, which makes it semi-transparent. Then we converted the image to a Tkinter PhotoImage and created a label with the image. Finally, we set the background color of the Tkinter root to blue. Since the image is semi-transparent, we can see the blue background of the Tkinter root behind it.
