Help With Making a Splash Effect

[Tygra]

So, I have made the image much, much smaller, and the xcf file is now under 2 MB.

What I mean is I have put a layer of a tiger splashing through water underneath the tiger I want to keep. 

I then apply a layer mask to the tiger image that I am keeping.

I then brush out the tiger that is underneath, creating the splash around the tiger than I am keeping.

However, then I still have the background from the layer that is underneath.

Hence, I am wondering if there is any simple way to remove the remaining background?

Just throwing this into the hat because I do not have a real answer for the original question, make the splash more realisitic.

Using the xcf provided the background colour under the water splash screws things up.

I isolated the tiger body (and that is a demo of using a layer mask) then added water splash using a brush I knocked up.

Hi Rich, thanks for that, but you used the wrong tiger lol.

It is just an idea, and two issues.
Using a layer mask correctly. For this you might as well just use the eraser tool for everything.

   

and
either tiger, same problem with the water splash, not a good colour match between images.

I tried some quick workflow, I used splashes from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZlXs2h0vQk

The tiger and splashes vertically mirrored and rescaled. Then the mirrored tiger and the water rippled.
