Brian...if you're working on learning layers and whatnot, choose a subject with a simpler,
less cluttered background. Would make things a whole lot easier.

Once you become comfortable with layers, masks are an easy next step (as are blending modes and opacity adjustments).
Masks are just a great way of either enhancing or reducing the impact of the layer on the whole image.

Your PP skills are certainly improving. I'm glad that you are learning layers.
