Can we have the original source for this one @jazos? The edges are cut a bit too rough. If you use remove.bg, this shouldn't happen.

The current megapack cut has more hair details and is quite recent so the new cut, while good, isn't an improvement.

@jazos Unfortunately this cutout isn't of the correct person - it's an image of Juho Talvitie from his signing announcement at Lommel SK, and I assume it just showed up on a google images search for Taras Dmytryk because it was just retweeted by him.

@jazos Please never use any kind of image enlarging/sharpening tools, as it makes the face look unnatural

@jazos, good work, but if you have multiple images to upload, please save the both of us some time and upload them as a pack 👍

This is your first cut at 100% zoom

 

 

It's got visible, evident snow in the hair and it is also evidently upscaled from the original source to 250x250 because the image is somewhat blurry and lacking sharpness.

 

 

 

This is @BramNUFC's cut at 100% zoom:

 

It's clear that there is no snow at all in it, or at the very least significantly less than in your cut.

 

As per the guidelines, which have been in place for many years now:

 

If the source is large enough and at a high resolution, the cut should be produced in 250x250. Otherwise the cut should be in 180x180. If, when cut, the source is not already 250x250 (or close), it is ideally downsized, since upsizing a cut leads to a loss of sharpness.

 

so there is nothing at all wrong with it, as far as I'm concerned. Given the size of the source image, and the area that the face takes up within it, it's clear to me that a 180x180 cut is preferable.

 

I appreciate you may have considerable experience and expertise in graphic design, but one must keep in mind that we have specific guidelines on what we're looking for in our cuts.

And still the first cut you posted was blurry
