rich2005,
My first effort is not really as good as I had hoped, but it is probably adequate for my needs, right now.
I can see now that I would have got a better result if I had hand-drawn the outline of Stella's hair, before bucket-filling the region as you did.
Had it been a better photo with a clearer boundary between her hair and the background, my bucket fill method may possibly have worked better. Instead, I had to hand-paint the areas that the bucket-fill missed. This probably was more work with not as good an outcome than with the method you demonstrated, which I will try tomorrow.
Thank you again for your attention and for your effort.

PS: I also added a very small blue section of her covered shoulder on the left of this image just to make it seem a slightly more balanced image, even if that made it a slightly less accurate depiction.
