Love those nice thick heads that rise about a half inch above the rim of the glass and just stand there. Sign of a great beer, and a very clean glass!

Jim Koch(sp) in one of his Sam Adam's radio commercials used to say that some people didn't think head on a beer was a good thing but he says it is.

I don't know...I've always preferred head on the couch.

OMG!!! DID I SAY THAT OUT LOUD?!
Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into
Are awake through years with transferred touch and go on glowing
For long years.
And for this reason some old things are lovely
Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.

yeah, what he said
The Nong Brewery defines "Fermentation" as: Making "Rot" a Good Thing

You have to edit your pic to reduce the size dramatically or take it at the lowest resolution, but that may still be too large.

Sometimes you can cheat by emailing pics where the process offers to reduce the size.
