Good photo! Bad thumbnail.

[Elo Wheezen]

I just thought I'd make this board for people to post copies of their photos where they've taken a pretty decent one but the 365 thumbnail version has let them down for some reason.

I took this one today and the only thing you can see in the thumbnail is the shed!



It unfortunately cut out the most interesting part!...me! (Just kidding.)





If you have any photos where the thumbnail just didn't do it justice, feel free to post it here!

I guess "thumbnail" should be renamed "a detail from the center of your photo".

[Katie Rose Allan]

cool photos! good idea starting this page!

[Elo Wheezen]

awww, those homeless puppies are so adorable! the thumbnail would have confused me a little i think! :D

im all for voting the rename of the meaning of thumbnail too, haha! thank you! made me laugh. i'm guessing we'll all get a chance to use this thread at some point because of that!

I often think that they should let us choose which part of the photo to use as the thumbnail (like Facebook profile picture), since that way we can show off the best part of our pics... but this makes things quite amusing too. haha

^^^ That would be a good idea. I do however like it when you get just a slice of the subject of the photo, it's a nice teaser!

Haha! What a funny little problem. Great "whole pics," both of you. Those thumbnails have me giggling.

If I saw that, I'd be so curious what it was that I would have to click through. It's a fun photo! :)

[Anita Ewing]

That's funny! Definitely a great photo and a crappy thumbnail. I recall that happening to me too, but I can't think of a good example right now.

[Sarah McLoughlin]

maybe there should be a feature where you can drag the thumbnail to the spot you want...like on facebook :-)

[Kit Marsden]

Why don't you all just take square photographs - then you wouldn't have this problem! :P

[Yann]

I see the code's been changed to show the entire photo, looks great! Very Flickr-ey :-)

[Chimom]

yes i do have this "problem" sometimes, but i don't really mind. but this definitely makes me laugh :)
