Use an inline style on the <img> element to add a focal point to your responsive image, to stop subjects from being cropped on resize.
eg. style="object-position: 60% 20%" would indicate the focal point is approximately 60% along the x-axis from the left, and 20% down the y-axis from the top.
Use srcset to serve smaller images to smaller screens, this is right at the top of the page, and will affect performance.
