Put the image on your screen, then move your chair back so that you're looking at it from about 1.5m - 2m away (with a 15" LCD monitor on my PowerBook -- you may have to sit futher away if your screen is larger). See the difference? The information is there. Most images on the web are presented too large for the viewing distance. The increasing size of screens doesn't help either.
