i did do them that way for a members area but when I looked at the thumb index pages i felt that the whole thing became too much of a mystery for the member - on a TGP you want to draw the viewer in and get him to click so a nice tight crop on the face or a great body part works but on a thumb index for a members gallery i think the viewer wants more of an overview of the set - so i cropped these just to get a bit tighter in on the subject of the photo so u avoid thumbs ,ike the far right one where the model looks small.
