@dannickgear, I'm afraid these are cropped too far from the head - we ask for them to be cropped 2-3 pixels above the head and beneath the chin. The edges are also quite jagged. This thread contains guidelines for what we're looking for in our cuts in terms of dimensions, snow, collars, face orientation etc. and video tutorials for each element. Please be sure to read and familiarise yourself with it before uploading any more cuts 👍

Can you provide us with the original source image without the background removed so that we can cut it accordingly?

If you want to give it another go yourself, I would recommend using remove.bg, which is a free online tool which removes the background to an excellent standard, for free and almost instantly.

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.
