Well, sometimes I just reduce the image, and sometimes I crop the shot. I mostly crop when it's a collage sort of image and the details of the image just won't show up well in the 200x200 format. Maybe this is a bad idea in that I have had comments on some of these that the thumbnail doesn't give the viewer any idea of how great the image is. (And, that's a nice comment to get ...). On the other hand, I kind of like it that the viewer gets a surprize .... something that they really didn't expect.

Could be worse, could be raining.
