Here is the result. The background of the image is selected. However, some parts of the tree is selected as well. We should repair this.
What we do now is repairing the selection on the tree. While the selection is still active on the image, go again to select > edit in quick mask mode.
In quick mask mode, the tree image is highlighted by red color meaning that the part is not selected except some parts as pointed with black arrows in the screenshot. Now we will fix the parts. Take the brush tool in the tool panel. Choose a hard round brush with size set according to the areas to be stroked. With black color, paint over the tree image especially the parts to be fixed. We can use a small spatter brush to paint the edges of the leaves. When the selected parts are stroked by black brush, they will be highlighted with red. If it just happens that the strokes are overlapping, we can stroke white brush to the overlapped parts.
When we have finished the repairing, go back again to Select in menu bar and uncheck the Edit in Quick Mask Mode to create normal selection.
Hit shift+Ctrl+I to inverse the selection. Finally hit Ctrl+J to duplicate the selection into a new single layer.
Step 39
Add the tree to the main scene. Place it on the right side of the scene. Scale its size to fit the composition. Give it two adjustment layers: hue/saturation and photo filter. Set the hue/saturation to normal at 90% opacity and photo filter to normal at 100% opacity.
Step 40
Proceed to add another tree behind the foreground rock. We will use the tree brushes to achieve this purpose. Make sure we have downloaded and saved the brushes in a folder. Take the brush tool. Open the brush picker box and click the small triangle in the box to open the brush option box. Choose load brushes… We will be led to the folder where we have saved the brushes. Choose the tree brushes and load them.
There will be the tree brushes in the brush picker. Choose one of the tree brushes.
On a new layer, paint the tree by clicking the brush..

If you see red than press Q to get out of quick mask. If you dont see red, just click on the left thumbnail of your layer… the left one not the right thumbnail.
