Part 7: Selecting only the Brooklyn Bridge

I'm getting pretty good! I successfully selected the Statue of Liberty while masking everything behind. I wonder if I could do the same thing with the Brooklyn Bridge. It looks much harder though. There are tons of little details.

How am I going to select all the main cables and the suspender cables (that's the name of the smaller vertical cables)? I can't select them one by one with the paintbrush tool! I found a video that could help me out with this.

Wow! I think I can use the same method used for the hair in the video to select the bridge and most of the cables.

Here's what I'd like to achieve:

Do I understand how to select and cut out an object with fine details (such as hair or, in this case, the cables on the bridge)?
