Welcome back. There's no need to apologise for being absent for a while, life has a habit of throwing curveballs once in a while and you've got no choice but to deal with them. They can take their toll but getting back to photographic things can help with a return to some sort of normality (the voice of experience here!).
Looking forward to seeing some more of your excellent photos .
Steve

Well....
"I think this mostly comes down to personal preferences combined with subject matter " to quote your kind self. but seriously I also am from the film days and so try to get it right first time but see nothing wrong in cropping, another luxury of digital.

1.
2. This one was good SOOC but here I clicked 'Dehaze' in Rawtherapee, it darkens it a bit but it gives it a more 3D look IMO.
3. Here to compare with no Dehaze applied;
4. About to leap or attack, viewed from the bus stop.
