The top edge can be the easiest way to recognise a fruit character. Keep leaf and crown details inside the main image rather than letting a uniform crop remove them from the comparison.
Compare outlines before expressions
Look at the leaf-collar blueberry, crowned kiwi and whole apple references as complete forms. Note which top detail helps identify each one. Then check the face. This order prevents an attractive expression from hiding the fact that the identifying outline has been cropped away.
Leave breathing room in the grid
Use consistent margins rather than forcing every toy to touch the top of its image. A little extra background is useful when it preserves the feature a buyer needs to see. Keep a second view for details that cannot be shown clearly in the first.
If a custom design reduces or removes the top feature, review recognition again. Treat that as a design decision with a new reference, not a routine image-editing adjustment.
