SC Braga B [Old Pack Submission]
@Adrian Stan, for the last few months, we have been encouraging cutters to produce cuts in 250x250 in cases where the sources are as excellent as this. Just something to keep in mind for the future.
Also, some of your cuts seem to have a bit of snow. Here's a short YouTube video outlining how you can spot snow and how it can be easily removed.
Finally, it is the megapack standard to include a little bit of collar in all cuts to avoid the chicken-neck effect. This post displays a simple technique of how to cut close to the chin and still display a bit of the collar in cases where the source image has a long neck or the collar is far from the chin.
These are very decent cuts, and thanks for them, but as a budding cutter, I'm sure you will agree that your technique can be refined even further. What program and what technique(s) are you using to cut, if I may ask? Perhaps I can give some additional pointers
P.S. As the sources are so good, perhaps you can give them another attempt keeping all the above in mind? To avoid doing extra work unnecessarily, can I suggest posting your first couple of cuts here (or sending them to me via PM) before uploading the whole pack? This way, I (and other cutters) can point out what aspects of your cut can be tweaked, so that the quality of your cutting keeps improving

Pack whittled down to 34 images. Perhaps you could take it on as your next project @HRiddick?

I'd forgotten about this one, will take a look at it
