as in they see the page as a whole and multiple thumbs they are interested in at one glance. then by moving it you are changing the pattern they see. slowing down how fast they can click onto the next gallery.

also it may be bad for sales in that they browse that gallery, had another one in mind, then when they go back to buy after comparing in in their mind the gallery has moved.

these are the 2 major downfalls of it.

you dont want surfers to have to think. you want to provide them with an experience. the greater experience they feel they have the more likely they are to buy.
