Making a background transparent- Dancer of New York

These two images (above and right) are the two images I blended together.  I had to use photoshop and make the background of the dancer transparent, that way I can put the image to the Empire State building.

In the final image (left), I wanted to have the image look like she is trying to touch the top of the building. I added a text to the image too saying "Dancer of New York"

Jasper James- Dancer

 The images below and on the right are my original pictures. I had to blend them together to create an image like Jasper James.  I followed instructions and was able to create a nice image, which is at the bottom.

I had to use the magnetic lasso tool to go around the outline of the image I had chosen of the dancer. I then deleted the middle bit which is completely black, and added it to my background in which I had chosen. For the end image (below) I had to fade out the whiteness and make sure both images are still visible.
