Most likely too high a resolution. Reduce the picture quality by reducing the number of pixels. If you do not have a photo editor, just seach online and find an online one that can do it for free.

Nice. Mud has never looked so good.
“Red sky at night… light of shorter wave lengths is being dissipated by water vapour and atmospheric dust. Red sky in the morning… same.”Reading Homer’s Iliad, in translation of course, one gets a bit fed up with the ‘rosy-fingered dawn’, which seems to happen every day. Not only that, but ‘sailor’s warning’, but today looks OK.
"Pious Aeneus" in Virgil gets a bit wearing too, especially when he isn't. At least Homer varies his epithets a bit, and sometimes is very obviously using them for ironic effect! And yes, I too read them in translation, though I did hack my way through a bit of both the Odyssey and the Aeneid - 54 years ago! I can still remember the opening of book 2 of the Odyssey - "Then the noble, much enduring Odysseus...." though as 15 year olds, I think we were more interested in Nausicaa!Reading Homer’s Iliad, in translation of course, one gets a bit fed up with the ‘rosy-fingered dawn’, which seems to happen every day.

But apparently it is one of the few wise weather sayings that has some basis in reality, in wester Europe. Something to do with "red sky at night" indicating weather conditions to the west, which are likely to be heading our way.“Red sky at night… light of shorter wave lengths is being dissipated by water vapour and atmospheric dust. Red sky in the morning… same.”

Equally easy is MS Photos. Just 'open' a picture and 'resize' can be found in the menu three dots far right. Remember to file as a copy if you want to keep the original. Cropping and rotation can also be done, as well as other adjustments.MS Paint - to be found on every Windows PC - will do the job nicely.
