^^That's almost exactly the way I did it, except I cropped out the guy on the right.

Yep, shorten the road to make the cars more centered and take up a larger part of the photo and crop the top a bit. Mini G is pretty on point.

As per Mini-G but I used content aware delete to remove the man.

The reasoning was to letterbox/highlight the action, there was no real need for the dead space out front. However, I didnt crop it AS tight as Mini-G

I also left it widescreen as opposed to 4:3 because everyone is using wider formats these days, personally I think it looks nicer too.
