Just comparing them visually at normal resolution isn't good enough of a proof. You need to pop the suspected stolen pic in photoshop along with your known reference pic, from your own files. Go to a corner you know you cropped (might have to check the original to be 100% sure you have the right crop corner, naturally two originals will both have the same pixel edge.) Magnify both corners to the max, and look at the pixels. The chance that two cuts by two different webmasters would leave exactly the same pixel pattern on the edge is very small, 1 in thousands. (look for an area with many colors to make your comparison)
Most whois responses lists the registrar, if yours doesn't try the whois at network solutions. I beleive a letter to network solutions alone complaining about false whois data may be enough to get the name suspended. the culprit is notified and has about 72 hours to prove that the address is valid. A real webmaster should be able to fax copies of an electric bill mailed to the address.
I haven't done it myself, complain to a registrar that is, so I'm not certain of the proceedure.
