  Please see the detailed theme support page at https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sela/
  and note the Front Page Template instructions.

  Then note the Quick specs at the end of that page.
  The featured image on the front page and on pages works best with images at least 1180 wide.
  Featured Images for posts should be at least 820 wide by 312.

  I do not see a Front Page Template on your blog at https://myfreshmorning.wordpress.com/

  If you get an error message please post what it says here.

  Just put it back up, I had taken it down earlier as it doesn’t look all that nice. I’m just trying to workout the whole sela theme

  The featured image on the front page and on pages works best with images at least 1180 wide. That image looks undersized to me. What are the dimensions?

  You need to create an image offline of the correct dimensions first and then upload it into the blog. There are many free image editors you can use:
  free desktop image editing software http://en.support.wordpress.com/media/image-optimization/#image-editing-software
  or free online image editing software http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2009/11/28/ten-free-online-image-compression-and-optimzation-programs/

  You’re welcome. You will also get better image quality and not be wasting your free media storage space when you are not using the cropper.
