Statue of Liberty Crop

Today in class we had to remove the sky from a Statue of Liberty picture. After copying it into Photoshop we then had to use some tools to get rid of the sky, but also make the picture really crisp and clear. I mostly used the polygonal lasso just so i can get the corners of the statue really cleanly. But I did use regular lasso to get rid of the bulk of the sky before I went into the nitty-gritty stuff. I'm still trying out the other tools but I think I got lasso down. Ta-da! And here it is.
