Now THAT's the 1st-class gangster we know and love so much ;-)
Question: How can we, if desired, fit the image to the page dimensions?  
See what happens with
\starttext
\fullpagebox{\externalfigure[cow][scale=fit]}
\stoptext
Can you try \pagefigure, my solution was to scale a image to the
papersize and remove parts. \pagefigure includes a figure within a
TEXpage and you scale now the figure to the size of the document.

\starttext

\pagefigure[cow][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]

\stoptext
