I do indeed usually crop, some of my PAWs are less than 1/2 of the negative. In the gym picture I left the full frame in because I thought that the windows on top added scale, but I do see your points. The picture of the hot dog vendor is cropped a bit at the scanning stage, there was an unsightly dark box on the left side which I got rid of. When you are standing in the middle of a NYC street you have to shoot quickly... Thanks again.
