        Well, you can magnify the part where you're going to lasso. That way, even when you make larger movements, when you view your picture in its actual size, it won't seem so...uhh...angular?

          Oh and then doing a 1 px Contract then a 1 px feather works good sometimes too.

                Zoom in and be careful! Then go over it afterwards with the eraser!!

                      Use the paths tool silly and convert the paths to a selection area.

                          blow the image up to 300% and lasso that, it doesn't change the immage size

                                    LASSO! NO NO NO! Use the polygon lasso tool. zoom very close and just keep clicking along the edge you want to cut. Also to get rid of jaggies try layer>matte>defringe

                                                    yeah the first pic is good but the rest are not, maybe you should higher the contrast of that two pics so that it will not looked blurred...

                                                        Magnetic Lasso with feathering and maybe some eraser if need be.

                                                            Are you doing that for some mainstream project? That composition looks very weird...you wanna make sure that the images(heads) have the same contrast/sharpness,etc. (NEVER use stuff that is scanned in the way head #2, #3 and #4 are). the whole composition is 'off', because of this...and try doing something about the fonts...rethink the entire composition, you can't make a banner or header by just CUTTING people's heads off, putting them next to each other and slamming bigass text across them. think outside the box. Look at the last guy's(i don't follow football or any other sports on tv, so i have no idea who that dude is...:D) head, it's hanging in the air with no neck. I'd say hire a designer.

I believe that it gives it a little bit more to the pic if you make the image look like it belongs then some of the box heads I have seen with hair.
