Hi sampeny39, the image have some issues to be honest , but if you want to improve it, the two most important things to fix in that image is the cut and the light, the boy photo is taken in a sunny day and the jurasic park picture is night.

Hi Sampenny39 and Welcome to PSG

You need to learn a lot more about making selections in PS



Here's some good tutorials on making selections and the different tools used

Don't try and run before you can walk, try this tutorial first
http://www.photoshopessentials.com/basics/selections/quick-selection-tool/
Then this one

And work your way down from there, you need to practice with these tools, remember Rome wasn't built in a day

i was working in the first one myself try to fast fix, this is what i have at the moment.

When you are posting upload the image as a jpeg instead of a PSD, as you add more layers to the PSD the file size will become very large
Go to File and select SaveAs and from the drop down menu select jpeg as the format
To upload an image just select this icon

Argos Thanks ! thats way better ! how did you put parts of the picture / holes back in ?

 

[Argos]

I cloned it from the image itself.

Sorry i didn't read this message, well as gedstar said look tutorials when you have a problem you cant solve or want to improve, is too many things to do in this picture to explain it well in a post, and with my poor english imposible XD

Cheers!
