At first I tried using the pen tool and the free form pen tool, to no avail. No matter how slow and steady I tried to go the outline always seemed to miss the mark. The quick selection tool was my fall back and it worked fairly well. i was able to capture the image and touch it up.
The blending effects I used were outerglow and gradient overlay. My background picture of a sunset was already a bit blurry so what I needed to do was adjust the outline of the overlaid object. Some hue/contrast/saturation helped give the object the look as if the sun was setting on it.
I did my best but I don't think this is too convincing. The wood grain shows too much detail and the shadows are wrong, but I think it does look good:D
hey i dont know if u did this or not but when u use the pen tool u need to zoom in on the image a bit to get a pixelized view of the image u want to cut out so u can get the edges. hope this helps you a bit in the future.U still did a good job though
