I agree with you. I like Gianfranco's photo very much, although I want to move the fishtail a little to balance the composition.
Actually, a theme like juxtaposition requires little or no effort. Unless you shoot a clear sky, the sea or a snowfield, pretty much every photo on the planet has something juxtaposed with something else. Here's my mum juxtaposed with my dad. Gee, they're juxtaposed with the Tower of London. Hey, look, it's juxtaposed with the Thames... Gianco's picture (the pick of the crop, imo) isn't really about juxtaposition anyway. It seems to me to be about violence, mystery and maybe just a little hint of existentialism and surrealism.
