During the last few weeks I tried to practice with photoshop a bit and I created several masks of different objects that I took some pictures of. I am still learning so I have to try the different methods of creating the cutouts and for this example I also put a frame around my object to create this 3D effect that lets the object appear to pop out of a frame or a photo. It is quite funny to see the results and I keep getting better but it also take a lot of time to create good layer masks for the different object in a picture. I also need to experiment with different brushes and brush types to get some better results. I avoided to edit my pictures till now and most of my pictures here are not edited at all. But depending on my learning progress and my fun with editing pictures I might do some more edits in the future. 

In winter time that is  still ahead of us I will probably not be so much out there to take some wildlife pictures in the cold and so I can sit at home and still do something to at least develop my photo editing skills. I plan to watch several videos on youtube to help me with this topic.

For the 3D Effect I inserted a white frame that is shaped with angled lines so it makes the illusion that the object (the dog in this picture) pop out.

*First result with a mask in Photoshop, I definitely need to choose pictures better in the future and also create better masks with some more different methods. Picture: Florian Glechner.*
