A photo that bothers you profoundly is a very good thing. Some of the best photos ever taken bothered people profoundly. Some of the Vietnam PJ photos come to mind.

It does do better in the larger size.

OTOH the photo bothers me profoundly. To me it epitomizes California, that and the Holywood tinsel seems to be all there is out there. The bottom of society and the fake. It says too much too clearly, and at the same time leaves me feeling helpless to do anything about it. Our society sucks and the most a photo like yours does is let some do-gooders punish people like those in the photo because it makes them feel just like it does me, but they are not honest enough to admit that they helped make the problems, we all did.

download for someone with a slow connection, but there's not much I could
do about it ... so, here's large and small:

I think in most cases the web image should be cropped the same as the print. The exception might be where there is interesting detail that gets lost in a small image. Perhaps the ideal solution in regard to your "Spare some sex" image would be a larger file. My web posts are generally 13 inches on the long side at 72dpi. That's still viewable without scrolling on all but the stingiest monitors.
