I do this quite a bit. If there's a bit of fun in the image, it is best not to reveal the gag in the thumb. Many people won't bother to view the large image if you do. Sometimes I just don't want to give away the whole idea in the thumbnail. And since there are many people who would just look at the thumb and think it was all the image had to offer, I add the word "Detail" so they know there's more to it. For some images, the thumbnail just can't do the image justice. Other times, using the whole image as the thumb just seems to be better. It just depends on the image and one's personal taste. John To bring up a related topic, does anyone look at images that have no thumbnails? Maybe I should be ashamed to admit it, but I don't believe I've ever looked at one. I think it makes me a bit leery. I've been burned by thumbnails that inadequately represented the image. Stuff that I really didn't want to see that went places I didn't really want to go, if you know what I mean.

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.
