the actual pictures are only 300px tall
this is in the code in firebug after adding your suggestion to the css
<div class="hero-carousel hero-carousel-container" style="position: relative; overflow: hidden; left: -828.495px; top: 0px; margin-left: -2495px; height: 499px; width: 6652px;">
this does nothing to the height of the picture.. does not show the actual picture height and is now pulled other items below that widget up under the pictures
