I guess I find out:
In bmo-expo/css/themes/default.css look at max-height and max-width. By default it was 95% (what a stupid idea). So it should be:
div.bmo_the_gallery div.bmo_the_gallery_image img, div.bmo_the_gallery div.bmo_the_gallery_image a img{
background: url("../imgs/ajax-loader.gif") no-repeat scroll center center transparent;
/*styles to center images*/
vertical-align:middle;
display:inline;
max-height:100%; /*dont use padding or margins here, use the % width and hight to reduce the size of the inner images*/
max-width:100%;
