Try this is what I always use inside the figure environment:

\includegraphics[width=0.8\columnwidth]{estimation_oldfaithful}

This command will include your graphic file making the graphic always  
using maximum of 80% of the column width, o course I alwyas keep my  
figures centered with \centering, this way works for papers and common  
text that use full page.
