@Ja Cv, , good work but you should only leave 2-3 pixels above the head and below the chin. Anything more is unnecessary because we want the face to be the focus of the cut-out.

Additionally, all cuts must have a collar. If like in this case, the collar is a bit low or the neck is a bit long and to include it would mean you have more than 2-3 pixels beneath the chin, then there is a very simple technique demonstrated in the tutorial thread which allows this. Essentially, you lasso the collar and nudge it upwards 😉

Also, the source image was a bit stretched, making the face look unrealistic, so that's something to consider and resize accordingly.

Finally, a bit of brightening in darker sources like this is also recommended 😉

Have a look in this thread for more guidelines on what we look for in our cuts in order to keep improving your cut-out technique 👍
