davies the dude - yeah right 
Try the gmic plugin Contours -> Extract Foreground (Interactive)
I had a photo example one time, but for Gimp 2.8 and anyway the gmic settings have changed a bit. I must have deleted it from yt.
This demo is a drawing but the principle is the same. https://youtu.be/Yu46Gs1NI34 about 4 minutes.
I often use this plugin as a starter and tidy up from there. No foolproof methods that I know for a complicated background.
