OK, so clearly 140*120 is a bit too big to fit well into the existing design.
100*80, however, is pretty good. (Well, considering that it's going against
an olive-khaki background.)

I've done two:
1) http://members.evolt.org/madhu/authorpic1.htm is at 80*100 and left
aligned. No border either 'cause I think it sucks ;)
2) http://members.evolt.org/madhu/authorpic2.htm is at 150*120. I wish I
could crop the image a bit to get it to 140*120, but there was nothing I
could take out.
I wanted a decent quality image to use in my mock-up, so I borrowed one
from Uncle Jakob's high-res gallery - http://www.useit.com/jakob/photos
(Jakob actually mentions the brand names of his shirts in the ALT text,
e.g., "Jakob Nielsen in red Turnbull & Asser shirt". wtf?)
