168:, this looks like it's just been upsampled from the small version, and therefore the quality is nothing near FP-worthy. You cannot just expand a picture and expect it to stay sharp or good quality - you can't get back information that's not already there.

I imagine our advantage is that every
American city is filled with block upon block of parking garages, which seem to be favored sleeping spots for bats.

Extremely rare to photograph this wild bat during the day. This has been resized to make it over the required 1,000 pixels, following earlier comments.

Like I give a shit about what you see everyday... The good old US of A obviously has everything fine and dandy - except a brain.

which votes in George Bush is a complete joke anyway- but it is extremely rare to see them in the daytime here) .PS Fuck off!!

Resizing a small, fuzzy photo to get it to 1000px or more is a no-no here at FPC - the original must be
