Great! While it was coming on the screen I was composing orders of
superlatives. It was brilliant!

Then, when it had finished loading, it shrank to about half the screen
size
and looked just the same as before.

I wish I could show you! But I'm not complaining, my rubber bands

As it's just the image alone rather than in a web page, MS IE is being
'clever' and shrinking it to fit the window.
After it has loaded, wave the mouse somewhere else, then bring it back over
the picture and an icon will overlay the bottom right corner. Click to get
it back full size.
