Default How would you crop this?

Not sure if this counts a critque.

My town had a mini car show today and I had a new 50mm f1.8 to try out. Here is one of the pics



How would you crop it?

Any other critque would be greatfully received as well.

Many Thanks

I wish the heads were not cut off, but b/c they are I would just crop so that you cann see part of the bike... But, take that advise based on how much you paid for it

Thanks

I have to admit I was a bit distracted by my new toy. This is a slightly different view, is this better?

I think it sbetter, but do you have PP software? I wonder if you did color selection, if that might work, turn everything that is NOTthe bike b/W...

try cropping the image to a landscape orientation instead ....go in nice and tight to get at that sweet chrome......
