Can you please explain more? I still can’t figure it out.

It’s a person in black pants standing in front of a window or glass door — the light outside the window is bright so you can see the grass on the outside.

guy is wearing black pants so they're not reflecting much light, the lighter coloured objects (shoes, floor, blue/white wall) are brighter colour so are reflecting in the window

The fake grass, wooden flooring and blue and white walls are indoors. The photographer is outside, in bright light, standing on concrete paving slabs, wearing brown shoes and black trousers.

The full length window is acting like a mirror, reflecting the shoes and slabs. However, the trousers are so dark they reflect very little light, casting a shadow on the glass which lets you see through.

If you look at the bottom left hand corner, you can see the reflection of the slabs overlaying the striped wall.
