Thank you.. yes it is small. I must admit I haven't figured out about sizing.. this particular picture was the first one I ever took when I got my Canon G5 a few years ago.. I don't knwo wha ti did to make it small. Most of my other photos are way to big when you zoom them.. I cant' figure out how to make them more proprotioned without cropping some of it out.. I think I need to take a class. Now I am using the Canon Rebel XT.

Nice shot, but must agree with Popher, hard to see any details when it's so small.

Don't know if you need a class or not, start with an easy photo application such as picasa2 (made by google). You can do stuff like cropping, resizing etc. there. Then when you want to do more stuff like adding borders, try The Gimp. It's much harder to use, more like Photoshop, but it can do practically anything you ever need, and don't need too

Oh no problem *mercyop was telling you about cropping resizing, etc. and adding borders. This can be done with certain photomanipulation programs.
A very popular one is Photoshop, but I said, I used The Gimp. Gimp is open-source (so free) and I use it to do some basic cropping, borders, light dodge and burn and also to add my signature to my photos. (If you look at my gallery, you can see that this is something that was also brought to my attention as something I should be doing as well.) Sometimes those extra things make a ok photo great, and a great photograph amazing.

The advice given to me, was to look at what other people are doing (particularly what you like) and experiment a little. While you dont want to do too much to your photo (because then it would be a photo manip and not a photograph anymore, you might try it.
Gimp can be found here: [link] and you most likely want to download the windows version. (I think there are two pieces, you need gimp and a toolkit, they should be on a windows download page)

I'm not good at explaining how to use it, but there should be some tutorials online.

Otherwise if you have any other questions let me know. I think you do great work!
