Moving Buckets... Digitally

Short and sweet, and something I should've posted two months ago.

Use the Quick Selection tool to select your buckets. Don't mind the Shutterstock thing.

Hold Option to deselect unwanted parts.

Layer Via Copy if you want to keep the original file (THIS IS A TRICK QUESTION. YOU ALWAYS DO) or Layer Via Cut if you don't.

Refine the edges, make them smoother, sharper, more Instagram-y or more collage-y.

Drag it onto another file, Command + T to enter Free Transform tool and resize/rotate. Remember to press Shift if you want to maintain the dimensions.

And voila! I know it seems unimportant but this was one of our first Quick Selection tool exercises. You can use it to exploit zebras and behead Elvis, so why not?
