Personally, I prefer a "browser sized" image to start with and the option of viewing a larger image. But that's not a always possible. Firefox, and I'm assuming other browsers, offers a setting to automatically resize the image. This particular image needs to be big, IMO. There's a lot of detail in it. Street photos, candid portraits, etc. often work well enough for me at 600 or 800.
Beautiful photo, btw.
