STEP 1: Put the following 3 images below into Photoshop

note: make sure the layer you want to edit in Photoshop is selected on the bottom right.

STEP 2: Select the clone stamp tool on the left column to cover up mirror using the SECOND BASE LAYER. Press the option button on your keyboard to select what part of the SECOND BASE LAYER photo you want to copy and paste and then use cursor to paste inside the mirror in the BASE LAYER photo. Then erase every all of the SECOND BASE LAYER photo except for what is inside the mirror. The following image is what it yours should look like.

STEP 3: Crop everything but the trees in the third base layer photo. Then change the opacity so it blends in with the grass in the base layer photo.
