Merging boat, Buddha, temple

This was a rather frustrating assignment. We had to merge picture of temples, boats, and Buddha's together to look like one. My boat picture would not cooperate and made it very difficult. It was hard to get it so there was no brown or gray space in between the pictures. I eventually just stretched the boat out behind the other pictures, so I have a mega sized boat. Being able to do this could be useful when trying to make a college of pictures. Also, learning how to use the gradient tool was useful. Also, using the eraser at not full strength will be helpful in the future.
