How does this look to people? I'm trying to figure out a good setup for getting pictures of these things so this is my first test.

Rotating the images in Windows doesn't seem to work as the images revert to the orientation on the tablet when the photo was taken. Testing opening, cropping and resaving the image.

Looks fine to me.

You can also play around with removing the background altogether and presenting the image on a plain, single coloured background. The majority of people tend to use plain black, or white.

That looks well without the towel I had the badge on! Did you do that with the smart select tool (fluffy select?) in Photoshop?

I didn't (although that would work) I was rushing and simply used the smart select tool in paint 3D as part of Windows 10. Then dumped it on a black square and screen shot it, then removed that and did the same on white... job done.

I didn't know paint could do that, even better.
