[original photo]
I started by making a silhouette of the statue image, ignoring any of the background features. The image in itself is fairly simple, but the tail could be a problem when it comes to cutting as it seems thin and fragile. If this is the case, I will just strengthen this area by making it thicker.
Above are the experiments I carried out using the roughen, pucker & bloat and free transform tools to gain a tree-like effect. The first effect looks the most straightforward to cut and wouldn't pose too many problems in this respect, but none of them are a definitive tree.
In addition, I think the original silhouette is stronger as the trees block out the book and part of his leg, which hinder the visual recognisability of the main subject.
