I would suggest you also use the `clip' option to \includegraphics.
This removes unwanted white space around the edge of the picture.  A
lot of graphics packages include such white space around the picture
and this has the effect you note of leaving a partially or fully empty
page.  The `clip' option removes any of the picture outside the
bounding box you have supplied.
