My magnifying glass cannot be found to see these images properly.

Are you using photoshop, if so, then use "save for web" and adjust the quality.

Nice looking shots. Just wondering about the rest of the city and how much destruction is still around from Katrina? Did you get any shots of that? I understand that they still have a lot of work to do around the town.

First off welcome to POTN and second > Geaux Reggie Bush

You can post up to 800x600 without any problems here. I clicked the thumbnails and they look fine but yet like ordinary snap shots.

Living just two hours away I have quite a few from the area.

Nice, but they do look like P and S shots. Very sharp though.
