  Are you referring to this image?
  http://newtomanhattan.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/deserted-decks1.jpg?w=2816
  image info – 2,816px × 2,112px (scaled to 765px × 574px)
  You uploaded that image directly form a camera without using image editing software to reduce the size so it was a proper fit in the blog.
  You can delete that image from your Media Library > Dashboard > Media Library

  Prior to uploading any image into your blog, regardless if it’s a header image, a featured image, an image in a post or page, in a Post format (Gallery or Image), an image for sidebar display in an image widget or a text widget, you can optimize and re-size it in either a desktop image editing software or online image editing software to fit the space you intend to use it in. By undertaking proper image preparation before uploading you will get the best image quality, won’t be wasting your media storage space, and won’t be wasting your time troubleshooting.
