Okay, I’ll try to resize them. If I can’t, I’ll pick a different photo.

You don't want to resize the smaller pictures, you want to find the originals. If you just make the smaller ones bigger, they will be blurry.

If you are on your phone on your image (even an image that someone has sent to you), you should be able to click the details (usually top of the picture) and it will tell you all the details for the image itself (what phone model took it, date it was taken, and the lighting...what you are looking for is resolution) As a photographer and graphic designer images are essentially all pixels placed together to make a visible image so if @casportpony zooms in (and the resolution is small like a 450 x 400) it's going to make it more pixelated the more it's blown up to judge for focus, lighting, etc. 450px is roughly a 4.6" image where as 3000px is 31.25". Judging a contest the bigger the resolution, the easier it makes it to see the details (while still being able to zoom out). So check the details and see what your resolution is. So while a resolution this small might be acceptable on a small device like a phone, on a computer it's like staring through a foggy telescope when you zoom in on the image. Hope this helps.

We had a stray cat we were leaving food/water under a tarped chair on the deck - hoping to catch it. I heard noise and carefully lifted the tarp edge only to discover a big momma racoon with 2 babies. They all took off. A week later the 2 babies showed up alone, perched on the AC unit peering in the window.

One took off but the other came over to the front door and sat face to face with one of our cats before walking away (didn't get the shot). Momma was later found hit by a vehicle.

About 2 weeks later only one came back to visit, we figured the other passed away from the cold, it was winter and in the single digits.

Well, the surviving baby did come back a 3rd time, it came up to the door and standing on it's hind legs peering in the window. I took the photo before it turned and started to walked away. When it got to the steps, it turned put its paw up as to wave goodbye before disappearing into the night.

We never saw it again after this photo was taken. I took the 3 photos and used them in a calendar the following year.

Awww its so cute! I had two pet raccoons one time!
