Hi! My sincere apologies; I should have left a message on your wall. Your pics are indeed very nice and I don't think there's anything wrong with them. :) Cropping the pics (and slightly downsizing them) lets users see the items at a slightly bigger size at thumbnail size, reduces the height of the rows (when text is displayed at a small enough size or there aren't too many items listed) which means less scrolling, and the size of the file when the pic is displayed at full size (for example Level 13 went from 1Mb to 599Kb). I also think it's better when one can focus on important information rather than on decorative elements, especially with such a 'busy' background, but that's a personal preference. If you think this is a bad decision on my part feel free to discuss it with our admin, Ironwestie, and see what he thinks he's best. He's also the person who removed the level 1 pic; don't hesitate to leave a message on his wall, really. He always takes what you have to say into consideration.
