Without actually seeing the code, I think it's the size of the photo and the width of the content column in the theme.

I replied on friendfeed but I'll try again here. :) Try adding a line break tag after the photo, or enclosing the text in a paragraph tag.

Check your stylesheet to see if it is doing a "float: left" on the images.

Hey Baratunde -

It's in your CSS, get rid of the float:left in this line:
.PostContent img { margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; border:solid 1px #495b6b;}

You could also clear the postmeta (in your template, single.php and maybe index.php, after the titles and meta info, but before the content) with <div class="clear"></div>
