Works for me, however I would suggest cropping or reducing the
resolution to 512x512 for speed. I was going to suggest using a well
known test image from http://sipi.usc.edu/database/ (presumably that's
why lena was chosen in the first place), but there is a statement on
their page saying that many of those images have unknown copyright
info. Therefore, the Westie works for me.
