Look at resizing/tweaking homepage background image

[lizconlan]

The wave image (homepage-background.jpg) has been reported as not displaying fully for all users:

the wave image on transparencia.be cover is to wide in its display. How should we do to decrease that and have the full wave picture displayed for the user ?

Would it be possible to display the wave water image with a smaller focus so that the full wave is visible ?

The reason for this seems be that the aspect ratio of the image is such that it's not wide enough compared to its height so at some browser sizes it's appearing cropped as it scales.

Unfortunately, this is not simple to fix as the crop we've taken from the original image (from this support email) is already full width so we can't just take wider section of it, and taking a shallower section would crop the bottom of the wave. We can get away with squashing it a little without it looking too weird but then we have 2 problems:

1. it's not the same shape as the small version of the image (this may not matter)
2. with a "narrower" cascading wave, some of the orange text will fall on a lighter part of the image making it hard to read (I haven't tested the contrast ratio but if I can't read it properly - knowing what it says - that's a bad sign)
