1. 11KB in size (jpg 300px)
2. 61KB in size (jpg 760px)
3. 81MB in size (tiff 4884 × 5572 pixels)
They could save some bandwidth and disk space if they didn't jump straigh to an 81MB tiff. Maybe some 1k px or 2k px? I'm not a photo expert but I wonder why they made the decision.
EDIT: Looks like my view of download options are available differs picture to picture. Some do have extra options, some don't.
