FYI you broke the layout of the front page with these pictures.... A lot of people are not gonna have monitors with resolutions this wide (1366p wide here, and my horizontal scroll bar is 2/3rds of the way across, when obv it shouldn't even be there).
You could fix it if you put no more than one picture per line, or if you made the pictures smaller ;p
