Set -geometry 0x0+10+10   where the +number is the amount of seperation
wyou want between images.  This removes the montage geometry 'resize'
(setting them to '0x0' which means no-resize.

See IM examples, Montage, Geometry - Tile Size and Spacing
  http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/montage/#geometry
And more specifically...
  http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/montage/#controls

Default setting is something like   128x128\>+20+20
which means resize images larger than 128 pixel to 128 pixels.
