If I zoom in there does appear to be a gap between the sweatband and your head, but I can't say for certain. Is the top of your head bottoming out on the crown? If so, then yes it's probably too big. It is possible to place shim(s) behind the sweatband, but this usually will cause the sweatband to pucker a bit.
If you're talking about the presence of the hat being too big, that is something that many people deal with when first wearing hats. Based on the pictures I would guess it probably has a 2-3/4" brim, which is about as wide as they get for fedoras. (You will find the occasional 2-7/8 or 3", and western hats can have larger brims.) Some people find this a bit intimidating at first, but it seems to be that the longer your wear hats (and stick around here) the more comfortable you'll become and even gravitate toward the wider brims. The 5-3/4" crown depth is also on the larger side but that can be more easily manipulated by how you crease the hat.
Wear the hat around the house, out to the mailbox, etc. and see if it grows on you. Then venture to the grocery store or some other quick run. If it still seems too big I guarantee there would be no shortage of people interested in this hat should you decide to move it along.
