If you need to resize your photo
Edit > Free Transform
If you want to dress up your photo a bit go to Edit > Stroke to add separation between the photo and the background. If you go into the layers palette you can click on the "f" and have more editable control of the stroke as well as adding drop shadows, etc.

You're all set. Now all you need is a title for your image.
