Thanks, Bruce. I'd love to read that book by Bob as well! <G> Your comments are appreciated and helpful. I couldn't "pull back " physically, as all the cars are parked along the street parallel to the sidewalk. In this case, there were only a few feet between the bumper of this car and the bumper of the one in front of it. I shot it wide -- about 24 mm -- and going wider, to 18 mm or so, would have distorted ti too much and brought a lamp post into the frame.
What bothers me most is the dude in sun glasses visible through the windshield. I wish I has seen that before taking the image. Perhaps I will try a crop that concentrates on the flags, the ornate grill and the hood ornament.
