Dirty lower right corner and i would guess uneven or rough edges can we see the 100% crop?
Also not sure what a giraffes color should look like but i think the lighting may be uneven on yours.

The edge is really not that even after cropped...
Is there any tips for improving the skill of isolating an object? many thanks!

Just out of curiosity what was the background in this shot like and why did you want to do an isolation?

shoot against a light sky and dodge using highlights (layer and mask best used). Te lighting is not good on this and the image also looks soft/oof.

A giraffe looks silly isolated and to do it takes a lot of practice...A LOT OF PRACTICE.

I guess if you are going to isolate an animal like this, think of how a designer might use it? Dropped onto what? Consider the limitations your cropping creates for them.

Some of my best selling images are of this nature, but one needs to be technically correct and the lighting must be good.
To answer the usage question, any book, either a reference book, children's book that wants to illustrate an animal type could use isolations of this type if done well.
