That means the browser has to download almost 800 kb. On dial up that would mean about 15 seconds, if Photo.net wasn't running slow, as you mentioned. I would suggest either optimizing file size on the thumbnails, or cropping them to show a key feature, or reducing their physical size to help speed loading. I have noticed your photographs have really gotten much better in the past few years, keep up the good work.
