I can not display text on top of my tkinter image

I am trying to display text on top of my image, but I can not do this, can someone help.

the code:

# import Image and the graphics package Tkinter
import Tkinter
import Image, ImageTk

class simpleapp_tk(Tkinter.Tk):
    def __init__(self,parent):
        Tkinter.Tk.__init__(self,parent)
        self.parent = parent
        self.initialize()

    def initialize(self):
##    def create_widgets(self):
        # create welcome label
        label1 = Tkinter.Label(self, text = "Update User")
        label1.grid(row = 0, column = 1, columnspan = 2, sticky = 'W')

# open a SPIDER image and convert to byte format
im = Image.open('C:\Users\JOHN\Desktop\key.jpg')

root = Tkinter.Tk()  # A root window for displaying objects

 # Convert the Image object into a TkPhoto object
tkimage = ImageTk.PhotoImage(im)

Tkinter.Label(root, image=tkimage).pack() # Put it in the display window

root.mainloop() # Start the GUI

The Label constructor accepts a parameter compound. Pass the constructor both the image and the text and go to compoundhow Tkinter.CENTERto overlay the text on the image. The documentation for this feature is at http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/label.htm

import Tkinter
import Image, ImageTk

# open a SPIDER image and convert to byte format    
im = Image.open(r'C:\Users\JOHN\Desktop\key.jpg')

root = Tkinter.Tk()  # A root window for displaying objects

# Convert the Image object into a TkPhoto object
tkimage = ImageTk.PhotoImage(im)

Tkinter.Label(root, image=tkimage, text="Update User", compound=Tkinter.CENTER).pack() # Put it in the display window

root.mainloop() # Start the GUI

Also note that you should not mix package and mesh. You must choose one or the other. Link: http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/grid.htm

P.S. , , , , , set compound=Tkinter.BOTTOM.
