This is an easy one.

When a picture is added. The preview thumbnail doesnt look center. Probably because the photo is landscape orientation. Making difficult to see/recognize some images.

Could you improve the picture thumbnails so that they look better?

Note: The preview displayed during uploading looks fine.

Cheers
