The screen image you've pointed me to is only 598x762 pixels. I
wouldn't consider making a 5x7 print unless there were at least 1750
pixels along the long edge and preferably 2100. In the drastic
downsizing from the original to a screen image you have lost very
considerable detail in the image. JPEG file size is only tangentially
related here. I believe you have lost significant detail in the child's
eyes, lashes and brows. If you were to go back to your original E3
image file and make a properly sized print file (1500x2100) I think
you'd be quite surprised to see what your present print is missing.
