    shades of grey

    Should I crop the top, take out the splash of colour on the far side of the road?
    Or crop from the bottom and lose the white?
    Or just leave it alone

    Does your smart car handle well in this?

    I would crop off just enough of the top to take out the red things -- there's not enough there to tell what it is, but just enough to make me wonder. I would also take some off the bottom -- about half of the compacted snow to bring the textured closer to the bottom of the frame.

    Paul,

    I would have tilted the camera up a bit with the slushy stuff in the bottom right corner so that you can see the snow clearly on the brick wall. I think you need more on top not less.

    Thanks - two completely opposing views!
    Three if you include my original idea that I had this right

    Same scene, but with added bus and houses.
    Cropped from the bottom as suggested.
