Christopher,

If you just give the image "max-width: 100%" it will only start "getting
small" (thank you, Steve Martin) when its container forces it to. What do
you mean by "scale the width of the viewport?" Percentage widths on
containers have no affect on the width of the viewport, they scale
proportionally to the viewport.
