For example, if you wanted to style an individual image differently from the others, you could give it an "id" property.
Even when containing multiple elements ... is there something you need a container for that can't be done with a selector that targets all the elements? Sometimes you may want to group things together for structure, and that's fine, but try not to get into the habit of wrapping things without a specifc reason.
Normally, I wouldn't give images fixed pixel sizes. If you use percentages or screen-relative units your images will expand and shrink to make better use of the window size the page is being viewed in.
