 * Hi rottyranch,
 * Your could try changing
    `$thumbnail = get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID);`
 * to
 *     ```
       get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'thumbnail' );      // Thumbnail (Note: different to Post Thumbnail)
       get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'medium' );         // Medium resolution
       get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'large' );          // Large resolution
       get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'full' );           // Original resolution
       ```
   
 * For alignment you may want to amend or create some CSS targeting the `.featured-
   image` class.
 * Have a look at this [article](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_post_thumbnail/)
   for more info.
 * Let me know how you get on.
    Drew
