The gap is because the <img> is an inline element and so sits on the
baseline by default, as if it were a piece of text.
You can move it to the bottom of the line box by setting vertical-align:
bottom on the <img>.
Alternatively, make it "display: block; margin: 0 auto" and remove the
<br>. That makes the <img> a block-level element (so no baseline to
worry about) horizontally centered in its container.
