Compositing an image pt2 continued......

First of all, I cropped the background to make the image more focused on the boat rather than the scenery.
Then using the magic wand tool and the add/subtract from selection options, I cut out the boat and pasted it onto the background image, I then used the eraser with a soft edge and an opacity of about 30 to rub the edges around the spray from the boat to make them look more realistic. I then accidently rubbed out a bit of the front of the boat, but because the opacity was low it didnt do much and looks like a blur, so I left it :). I then used the magnetic lasso tool to loosly select the sky and right side of the image, and applied a motion blur filter with a pixel size of 10. Then I selected the trees and bushes on the left and set a motion blur of 2 pixels. I then touched up the image with the blur tool just to finish it off.
