I started out with the sunset. I opened the boat picture then using the polygon lasso tool. I outlined one of the boats and then to fine tune this I pressed Q for the quick mask and used the paintbrush to cleanup around the rigging anywhere that was untidy or any rigging that was missing I used the Line tool, I then copied this onto the clipboard created a new file then pasted and saved for future use. As I did each boat I pasted them onto the main photo. Another method of Mask which could be quicker is to start using the magic wand then press Q to bring in the quick mask its much easier and quicker with the paintbrush to highlight the item. While using the mask if you can switch between forground and background if you make a mistake. I forgot to add to get the sun effect i went to filters, render, lighting effect.
