This was my 2 minute tweak in Snapseed (it's quite a simple app compared with stuff like Lightroom etc but it's not too shabby). Not too dissimilar to Hosses pic.
Cropping is always going to be a poor second to getting what you want in the frame to start with but it helps get the idea if you can go back and recompose the shot.

@Yorick
Did you get that SLR camera and lenses?
If so, see CS's note about cropping. You're better off, from the same viewpoint, using a 'longer' lens to fill the frame with the image that you want.

I hadn't realised they'd been in business for so long and that they made bikes too.

Racing was huge in the 60s.
Hailwood winning 1,000 guineas in 1964. Probably about £30k now.
In perspective, there's no prize money in BSB for at least last 25 years.

A long time ago, in a land far far away, you collected a Honda Fireblade for a doctor in Scotland from a bloke in a village in Hertfordshire. The vehicle you used for collection was the LMH and I was the owner of the Blade. I'll stop there you grumpy northern git with a scabby van.

Yes it was obvious with the top middle being out of focus. I presumed it was an iphone thing. Did you notice until you woke up this morning

Lithium is an interesting choice of BBQ fuel.

It's one way of stopping the BBQ being depressing.
