Terry,
Your point is well taken.
People and companies rarely take side-profile pictures from long distance. Even me. I would be happy to post undoctored (except to crop and size) any pictures that are better than mine. My "ideal profile" picture would be one taken from waist height and a distance of at least 50 feet, directly perpendicular to the car.
The reason that I cropped the background on my picture? I happened to get the profile comparison idea at the wrong time and place. The car was an old one (actually our first car, in for service!) so it had the wrong roll bar. The background was just to "busy" and a distraction, so I cropped it out.
I do my best.
