Alright so I was lying in my bed tonight and I thought about this picture. I thought of something that could make it look even better.


Here's my first attempt:





As you can see there's still a very visible edge to the boy. This is due to the expanded selection on the boy. If I didn't use the expanded selection I would have blank pixels.


However this got me thinking. Why couldn't I fill up the blank pixels with the tight boy selection without doing any harm to the rest of the photo. It was easier than I thought []


I just used the original photo as the bottom layer. This way all blank pixels would be filled by the original photo. Here's the result:





As you can see there are no more annoying edges. There are still some blank pixels for some reason, but they are barely visible. Perhaps I will redo this one again and try to eliminate all blank pixels. Which one do you prefer?
