Thanks Jack. I am afraid the keeper ratio on the bird shots was pretty low but I am pleased with those I did get. The coupe-in-snow is cropped, but not too heavily. There is a shrub just to the right, with one branch intruding into the uncropped image. (And so I couldn't have moved to the right to take the picture as I would have been looking through more branches.) I took four shots, minor variations in how much foreground was included, how much surround was included. The one that allowed me the best crop (wherein there was some room on the right in front of the car) also had a pickup truck on the road in the rear.
