Open photoshop open Mr Cottam's image, on the side you can see a layer go and double click the layer and duplicate it, unselect one layer and work on the other one. Use the polygonal tool to crop around the person and you can use the magic wand to to select the background after doing all that you use a rubber and edit the tiny bits that are uncroped by using the zoom. When using the magic wand because it selects the similar colour so you can change the tolerance on the top t 10 so it will be more accurate and save as png at the front desk. go back to the grahic file and choose a background then open photoshop and open both of the images the croped Mr cottam's image and the background, input Mr cottam's image on the back ground and add some text then save as jpeg and upload your picture in blogger!
