You want the thumbnail to be big enough to allow the visitor to decide
whether she wants to click through to the enlargement -- some images
require larger thumbnails than others, and a human choice is required. You
also don't want to make the thumbnail too large, because this will slow
download time.
A detail might be enough.
Sometimes it is effective to use a detail from a larger image
instead of a thumbnail of the entire image. Use the part of the
image that conveys the most useful information.
