If you have him selected, which should leave the space between the board and his legs unselected, you could right click and make him a seperate layer which you could then apply over any background.
I think that’s what you’re trying to achieve, if not maybe you could clarify a little more. CR
I will try to clarify some more. I am wanting to take just the image. Since the Magic Wand has taken only the outside of image, I was trying to remove the area between his legs and board (make it open as well). So I would basically have just his image and the board) and when pasted on the new image, you could see the new background between his legs, not the old.
BR.. you could repete with the M_wand as before.. or as Chris suggested make the cut out of your son a differeent layer… then with that layer active go into the tool box and use the "Selection Brush",,,, the neat thing about that tool is that if you go outside the line you can press "Alt" and push it back… P.S. if you do this .. check in the menue bar that "Selection" is indicated not "Mask"…

BR,
My fault, with the image selected as you outlined above, click on the selection option that allows you to subtract (third from left in the box between the different lasso choices and the feather box) from the selection and go over the space between the legs and the board. This will remove that area from your selection and you can then make your layer.
