[Gimp-user] Removing background with images with a lot of inner detail of image

[Gimpgreenhorn <forums gimpusers com>]

Hi, gotta question for my fellow gimpsters. Working on a project, need to use
pictures of pine boughs and pine cones in project. One can go around the outer
image, and remove the background. But "how" does one remove the background
coming through between the "pine needles", before placing the pinecone/needle
image on my project?

Please detail each action one needs to take, to completely remove background
showing "through" and around" pine needle image, ...beginning to end. Thank you!
