Hi

found in the streets of Bregenz, a city nearby here in Vorarlberg/Austria

Oh, lovely simple composition. That tiny spot of red with all that blue, actually makes this image, in my humble opinion. Well spotted!

Why oh why do people post up huge sized images? I just cannot take in the whole image in one hit and i'm having to scroll across it, therefore the image loses impact and I can't give a good assessment of what I see...

Hi Paul,

I agree., why? Not only does it expose one's images to being illegally hijacked, it's also inconsiderate for those viewers one is (presumably) attempting to address.

When on a Windows Platform, one may be able and zoom out by lowering the browser zoom level with [CTRL-] and zoom in with [CTRL +]. [CTRL 0] will reset to the default zoom level for your display.

Cheers,
Bart

As to size of pictures, use the space if absolutely needed for detail-rich images. however, most of the time we can appreciate a picture far better, even undersized, where the image can be embedded centrally in white space as in a gallery. Then one can appreciate better the sweeps and gestures of the pictures make up that often are masked when one has to scroll an image to see the entire work! Of course, one can use keyboard strokes, ("Apple -"), to shrink the image, but that doesn't provide the white space.
