Thanks, @mons! I'll review and revise those that were rejected!

It's good that you nudged the collar upwards, but I think you overdid it a bit - it now looks like he's either taken the photo with his shoulders hunched up or that he's a hunchback 😉
I've done a quick cut so you can see what I mean - you don't need to lasso the whole bit below the neck, just the bit closest to the collar, and a few pixels of the collar is enough and will look more natural 😉 Here's an explanation with images of what I'm trying to say 🙂
@mons Makes sense—a tiny bit of collar going forward!
Thank you for the tips and patience, I'm just very eager to help out using a pack that I've used for, well, a ton of years now.

It's always nice to see a new cutter's enthusiasm - which is why it's important they're given the right guidance to make sure their time and effort are utilized in the best possible manner. If you have any questions, best to ask in the tutorial and guidelines thread so that you can get an ‘official’ reply on how best to move forward 🙂
Keep up the good work 👍
Not bad @Krebstar, but the ones I've rejected need a bit more work before they can be added to the megapack, particularly in view of the need for every cut to include a collar.
Have a look at this thread for guidelines for cutters and video tutorials on what we expect for from our cuts, including a video tutorial on how easily you can nudge collars upwards to ensure every cut has a collar.
I recommend using remove.bg for your cuts. It's a fantastic free online tool which does the heavy lifting for you by removing the background in the source image, leaving you to only rotate, crop and/or nudge the collar upwards. It's tremendously easy to use and provides fantastic quality. With it, you can go from source to cut in a couple of minutes for the vast majority of images.
Here's a couple of videos on how to use it, one when combined with Photoshop and another using photopea.com, which is a free online app so close to Photoshop that it has the same shortcuts, layout and icons 😉 If you don't have Photoshop, photopea.com is the tool I would recommend to use to tweak the draft cut produced by remove.bg. It's more powerful and versatile than GIMP and other similar tools.
