sorry i'm not able to catch up on everyone's blogs as i'd like to, focusing on other pursuits more now.
Comments, feedback, criticism, suggestions, etc. are always appreciated. Thanks!

Funny, yes, and very interesting too. I don't have any issues with the size per se...

Dude...where's my bike? Cool capture, the thing on the spokes even matches the window frames.

I've seen it all now danthro, usually you see a bike with no front wheel, but this is a first for me :D a great shot, well spotted.
I don't have trouble with the size of your images, if they were too big, I would just press f11 and then there is no need to scroll down usually. :)

Great find! Really interesting.
As far as the size, I think the vertical posts are fine...don't have to scroll down at all. :)

I like the arrangement of lines in conjunction with the geometry of the wheel and 'wave' like design of the bike rack. Your image sizes view well for me too!

Oh there it is. Thanks, I've been looking for that everywhere. Have you seen an extra flip-flop laying around anywhere?

Where's the bike? Original capture!

@vu@granby Gilles M.: Thanks! I think it was probably stolen. You can't really see it from this angle, but the wheel was actually locked to the bike racks.

Or a unicycle missing the pedals:-) Neat shot.

Love the way you captured the light on the side of the building! Tells more of the story. Your capture is very sharp, well done. Your image size is fine for me but I have a large screen resolution of 1680 X 1050. Your image size would pose problems for people with a screen resolution of 800 X 600 (not sure if anybody still uses that size or not).

@Craig: Thanks very much, Craig!

We seem to have a surplus of wheels on campus as well. Nice shot.

Hey, who stole the bike?
I think you shall be fine as long as the vertical lenght of the picture is not more than 600 pixels.
Most of the browsers today are 1024x768. 800X600 still exist but they do not represent the norm anymore.
On my screen 2560 x 1600 (Apple 30') i have a huge real estate.However most people today are in the 19' - 21' screens.
On my personal web site i went to great lengths to keep my screens scroll free and Flash free.
The average web surfer only has an attention span of less than 5 seconds.
If you could not make him get hooked to your page within this time span he moves away to a different site.
But of course i am talking about my business site not my blog.
However what if an art director or photo buyer searches for blog photography?
The same rule as before will apply.

I really love the juxtapositions u display in your snaps !.. Great contrast of geometrics danthro .
Dont mind the pic sizes at all. Even though i have to scroll .. i still dont mind coz sometimes .. there is suspense about the composition when im scrolling .. like the curtain of a broadway theatre. :)

He locked in the wheel and took the rest of the bike with him into the building.

@Twelvebit: and all this time i felt bad for him... what a relief!
drphoto from Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
Ha ha, what a great find!
Unfortunately I think the bike was actually stolen. On most bikes the front wheel is easy to remove from the rest of the bike and if you don't run the lock through the wheel and the frame, one or the other can get stolen. Its happened to me before.
We must band together to stop this crazy, cleptomaniac unicyclist!

i hate robbers, more than politics!!! i have 3 bikes, one i use for practice (cheaper parts they tend to break a lot), another for competition (light fast and very expensive) and another for road training, if one is stolen i would problably go on a rampage.
