 * Hi, my featured image is HUGE on my blog page, I don’t know why it’s coming out
   so big as the size is 300px wide! [http://beauty.value-site.co.uk/2014/11/16/autumn-fashion/](http://beauty.value-site.co.uk/2014/11/16/autumn-fashion/)
   Why would a featured image be larger than it actually is? I’ve never experienced
   this before!
 * If anyone can help? Thanks

 * It looks like according to the css file, that the image is actually set to be
   100% of the column, so regardless of the size you upload, it will stretch the
   image to fill the space.
 * This is the part of the css setting the image to fill the space
 *     ```
       .wpb_single_image img {
       height: auto;
       max-width: 100%;
       }
       ```
   
 * if you want it to be smaller, just change the max-width. There may be better 
   options, but this would be a start.
