Good luck.....
Open the blue image with the globe.

Preset
bead.
Copy this border and paste as a
new layer.
Keep selected.
Looks like nothing happened, but in your layer
palette you have 2 layers now.
Hit OK twice , we don't use a
name, because we
have only one selection in our channel.
Selections > None.
Open the Galleon you did find
in the ZIP.

Find
!CircleGradient.msk.
If you never did save a mask with an exclamation mark
before, you find it on top!

Confirm merging.
Repeat these steps.
You will get a very smooth edge by doing this twice.
Copy and paste the ship on your
globe.
With
put it on top.
Make sure the sun is almost on
top.
The bottom of the ship overlaps your globe.
Open the sunset image with the
dolphins.
Repeat the steps with the mask,
but only once.
Copy and paste your image with
the dolphins on your globe.
With
move it to the bottom right.
Look at this screen-print, this
is how it must look.
Draw an imaginary line.
The bottom of the sails and the top of the fins
have to be on the same height.
Watch the point of the tail on the right must be within your frame.
Selections > Load from alphachannel >
Load your saved selection.
Hit delete once.
Now the surplus of your image is gone.
The layer with the ship, we don't alter.
It have to be over the frame.

shadow.
Repeat but H and V at -3.
Layers > Merge > Merge all
flatten.
Your Outer Space Frame is

I hope you enjoyed doing this one.
~~~ !! TIP !! ~~~
You can use this technique on
every image.
Use your imagination. If you type in
Google the word
Planet
or
Planets you got lots of possibilities.
Remember to resize, since most images are very big.
Image > resize> just about this size, more or less.
Effects > Sharpen
> Sharpen.
You can edit
your picture now.
Look for yourself what is best,
the mask done once or twice.
