Well, Emily, I suggest you download your own image from the RIT
website, as I just did. The thumbnail downloads as a 13 KB file, and
the full version as a 56 KB file. Opened in PS CS, the latter
indicates a size of 648 KB. My image was clearly larger, which
accounts for the difference.
When I asked PS CS to save my downloaded "2.22 MB" file, it came up
with a size of about 600 KB at maximum quality.
There must be a relationship between what PS displays as file size
and what the file size really is, but I haven't been able to figure
it out. As it is said, PS has a steep learning curve!
I still don't want to crop the image. I too tried various cropping
scenarios. The only one that worked was to crop off the empty sky on
the right. I thought that it gave the bird flock a destination and
didn't want to do it. I certainly could have reduced the width of
the image so it would have take up less screen acreage. Perhaps the
next time, if there is one.
This has generated far more interest than usual, or anything I've
ever submitted. Congratulations for starting it. I've enjoyed
lurking and watching the fireworks.

I'm not sure what point you are making. A JPG is compressed and
occupies more
memory than the file size when opened. Is there a problem with that?
Nup. I think we've resolved it, anyway.
