Thanks lorbach – your advice has me half way there. It seems like high res photos are doing the trick on most of the posts. I do notice that if the photo is a close-up, the theme still only displays part of the photo. Please check my homepage again to see what I mean in full detail. I am wonder if I could possibly re-size or crop the photo to look somewhat normal. The photo is not displaying faces, instead focusing on chin and chest area of the subject.
I love the way the high res photos are looking for the non-featured posts. The ones that aren’t super close ups look fantastic. I am liking this theme more and more!
