I did not mean to say that the only acceptable thumbnail is the entire image scrunched to 200x200, but I think that thumbnails should show a reasonable section--enough to tell if the image is worth viewing, and acceptable to view in the workplace (nudity tag is not enough). I'm not against cropping out a reasonable-sized sample area for a thumbnail "teaser", but one should consider doing this carefully, with intent.

What I'm objecting to is the cropping of just one eyeball from a huge image. Half the portrait gallery is literally a gallery of eyeball images. These are not cleverly composed teasers like yours, queri, they are just boring to browse and not helpful for making a selection.
