Try dimensioning img width alone here and it should work, leaving the
height off of the CSS and giving no width and height attributes on 
the <img> tag in the HTML. No need for an enclosing <div>.
The image will then stay proportioned.

For an example, see the photo here and change the window size:

CSS is at <http://www.hucklesby.com/blogstyle.css>

Note that it will grow to 100% of whatever the window size,
so make the image big enough. Enlarged images can look
terrible.

Life. Love. Peace.
