Correct answer Jill_C

All 3 have the same technical issues:  Subject is not in focus, blown highlights and the cutout work on the edges is not well done.

Thank you! I think I relied on auto subject masking alone without zooming in and rechecking so left jagged edges. The focus and blown out highlights I will work on too for future submissions.

Hi @Jaime26450621a707,

To add to what @Jill_C  said, the first and last photos have white balance issues and the second photo is a bit over exposed. To get good cropping the edge of your subjects must be sharp, otherwise you'll get jagged edges. 

You might find this video about mask selecting in Photoshop helpful for future submission.

Best wishes

Hi, I agree with Jill's feedback.  I would add that there is also a very noticibe colorcast on the bottom portion of the red apple.  It looks like there was a reflection off the surface beneath the apple.
