I found that I was very successful at getting all of the objects to blend and fit together on the background. By zooming in close and using the very fine eraser, I could create an almost perfect object. Another success I found was that by adjusting different levels and colors I could really express the vibrance of the background. Finally, it got easier to manipulate the objects as I did it over and over again. Although selecting the layers was a bit of a challenge due to the many features and options Photoshop has in it.

I heard a loud rumble coming from Portland and I looked up and saw a massive oil tanker going right through Hussey Sound. The ship came from Norway and was over 900 feet long! It was carrying crude oil from the Middle East and traveled all the way across the Atlantic. The ship dropped it's massive anchor and I saw through binoculars the Harbor Pilot climb down onto the pilot boat.

When I took this photograph I could smell the hot dogs and heard the bubbling of the water on the stove. The package of hot dogs were frozen and very cold and the hot dogs split as they hit the boiling water. The package was bought for cooking over a fire but there was nothing to eat so I opened it up.
