Mmmm.... a fabulous flight capture this one Andy.

BTW I've resized the thumbnail for your image, so that it displays correctly. The Gallery software struggles to produced thumbnails for large images.

If it happens to you again, it's quite simple to fix. Simply save a copy of your picture to, say, your desktop, then use whichever photo editor you like and resize the image to something under about 2000px on the longest side (most people upload around 1-2000px.

When you've done that, click on the three dots top right above the comments and select Change Thumbnail. Select Browse from the next screen and look for your re-sized image. It should be done... but you can check by refreshing your Gallery screen.
