Whales breaching

I had to learn a new layering technique to make this image. I just fluffed around until I got it right but the essence of what I did was I copied and pasted the image onto a base image each time. Then I selected the overlay function in layers, then moved the individual layer until it was positioned the way I liked it. From there I used the outline tool and selected an outline of the animal. Then I right clicked inside that and then selected refine edge and just made it something like 29 pixels. From there I inversed the selection and cut the outlying image data. Then in layers go back to normal and flatten image. You can do this a number of times until you have the image layering that you want. I am sure there is a tutorial on this some where on the net that does the job better, but I thought I would pass on the technique that I used.
