Those source cap was a PNG, however imgur scales and compresses large images to 1MB JPEGs.
From http://imgur.com/faq
Is there a maximum file size I can upload?
The maximum non-animated file size you can upload is 10MB. However, if the image is over 1MB then it will automatically be compressed or resized to 1MB, for better viewing on the net. The maximum animated file size (both GIF and PNG) is 2MB.
edit: formatting
Why was your png so big? Even one as long as that should be far less than 1MB.
Try using a png optimizer on it first.
I will in the future, thanks.
