Picks image reposition

When you promote an article you get to pick an image, great. However, that image gets resized into that narrow band. Imagine it’s a headshot, the image in picks on the homepage ends up being focused on nose and mouth. I have lots of noses and lips on my picks widget; I would prefer to have eyes. In short, it would be important to have the ability to reposition the image (or change the ratio, though I prefer the repositioning option)
