Not bad @sleipnirfossa but please remember that every cut must have a collar. At the same time, however, the ideal cut only contains 2-3 pixels beneath the chin. Since in some sources, like presumably this one, the person in the image may have a longer neck than usual or the collar is lower down, this would be quite difficult to achieve naturally. Here's a technique of how this can be accomplished quite easily:
Can you please recut the original source and use the above technique? I'd also crop the final cut a bit closer to the chin before resizing, leaving no more than 2-3 pixels at most 👍
@mons@sleipnirfossa What is done here,is only croping of pre-cut from official site,and nothing else,wich is not enough I'm affraid.
Take this one,wich is done from same source.I can't upload it @mons because of problem with limiting that we spoke before.
It would help @sleipnirfossa and all budding cutters if you provided practical feedback so that they can be sure to improve their cutting technique and ensure the same mistake doesn't get repeated in the future. To be honest, bar a slight bit of snow (and there's a video below on how you can easily spot and clean it @sleipnirfossa), I don't see much wrong with his cut. Yours is of course superior due to the added contrast and/or gamma correction, but just by telling a user that a cut isn't good enough doesn't give him any advice whatsoever, when a long-time cutter like you could easily explain what needs to be sorted 😉

Thank you for your support and all the helpful tips @mons. I'll work on my cuts 🙂
