selecting image after selecting and moving

I am having trouble selecting an image I would like to sharpen and clean up. I used the quick selection tool to select it from the original photo, used the the paint bucket to make the shape black and the drug it over to a new window or canvas. The quick selection tool won't let me 'select' just the image shape in the new canvas, it will only select a square around the shape which includes the transparent background. The shape is blurry/ragged so I want to select the shape and sharpen it. Any suggestions why this is happening?
 
An image would be helpful.
The quick select tool isn't very good for most situations.
The pen tool is the most accurate.

You can try the lasso tool and a quick mask too.
Don't forget to use the Refine Edge adjustments after you make your selection.
