Size and context matter. If you have just one pic on a page which
is quite big (say 800 x 400) and it links to an even bigger one
(for printing or really huge or high defn monitors), it is not a
thumbnail. Thumbnails are small pics about the size of thumbs
(and there is some leeway here, I have already admired your
robust implementation of this to some extent) on a page that link
to bigger ones that can be seen more clearly.
