That is a beautiful photo and you sized it perfectly for viewing in
my browser window.

I'm no artist, but yes, you just make a decision based on the
intended audience and your reasons for displaying the image. If it is
part of a newsletter type page with occasional pictures, that is one
situation. A web album of pictures for an audience on dialup is
another. Needing to fit in with someone's page design, may bring
certain other restrictions to the decision process.

In my case, I am usually posting an online delivery of hundreds of
pictures from a photo assignment - my clients all have broadband
access and it would be very rare for any of them to be using less
than a 1024x768 display. In this case, I want my clients to like what
they see and be able to easily navigate and evaluate images, and
since photos generally look more appealing larger than smaller, I
deliver as big as I feel I can - to make my work look better. About
90% of my web albums are in password protected directories only
accessible by the company that paid for the shoot.

Here is an example (link below) of one of my web albums that is
publicly viewable - client was a government agency. Thumbnails are
176 pixels wide, the middle size is 704 pixels wide and the high res
images are usually as big as the largest I have available.

Most photographers wouldn't be posting the high res images though.
