Sadly 1300x811 isn't big enough for me, but those are some kick ass pictures.

I have a copy in 1440x900. Will that work for you?

I uploaded a copy X-Bow pics I had to one of my websites (damn Photobucket shrinks them). Here you go:

That's a bit better, but I'm looking for 1920x1080.

No matter, I'll just use it with a black border. Thanks.
