Specific Background switch

[Dee9286]

Would anyone here be able to switch the backgrounds of Photos 1 and 2? So that my daughter has a photo with the Empire State building in the background?
(They were both taken by me at Top of the Rock but unfortunately the sun was setting against us and we couldn't get a decent shot with the Empire State). Thanks very much!

A little more background......

Elfmistress, you seem to have some kind of line going through your image.....

I think I know what it is... however I do not have a quick way to fix it right now. Such a shame. U__U
I like your solution too. There was something I noticed about the images, though. I see that you reached the same conclusion as me:

1: the new bg image is of much better quality and size than the one where the OP's daughter is, so corrections had to be made so the quality of the foreground image matched more or less with the new bg.
2: the light source came from the opposite side, so the bg image had to be flipped to make it match.
3.The perspective is different in both photos. I had a bit of trouble with this one since perspective is not my forte.
4. The color undertones of the new bg image are a bit different because of the lightning, so adjustments had to be made in that regards.

In all, I am not satisfied with what I did here. ...I guess I really am getting rusty.
