To create this image i used the selection tool to remove the background from the basketball photo, and the photo of me. then i inserted the photos into the background, and resized the basketball to be smaller, and made myself larger. I blurred the edges to make it look more realistic. Then i added text. Lastly i made a rectangle, then used the cookie cutter tool to remove part of the rectangle to create the silhouette of a bird (it's supposed to be a raven, but it's actually a dove). This was all done in photoshop 11.
