There are two major obstacles for me while I'm trying to answer this question. First is that I've only ever used Photoshop CS3, I have no idea what PS7 does or does not have. Second, is I can't see the picture: the difficulty and method is going to be dependent on the picture and the picture's background.

Basically there are a few different ways to do this, the easiest way to do this is to make the trunk a selection with whatever method you prefer, and then duplicate the trunk onto it's own layer. Next go to edit->transform->flip horizontal. Then, zoom in on the top of the trunk and try to get it to match the head, you'll probably need to use the move tool, clone stamp, heal brush and eraser to get a good fit (this will depend on your picture). Finally zoom back out and move back to the background layer, then erase the old trunk before using use the clone stamp and heal brush to fill in the background (the difficulty of this step is going to be heavily dependent on the source image).
