Hidden in the documentation it is possible to specify the size of the images in the feed. This is using the "imgmax" parameter:

https://developers.google.com/picasa-web/docs/2.0/reference#Parameters

Which can have a value set to "d" to request full sized images

This is not supported directly in the c# API, but you can achieve the desired result using the "extraParameters" field on the PhotoQuery object.

Your code then becomes:

var picasaService = new PicasaService("Gallery");

var photoQuery = new PhotoQuery(PicasaQuery.CreatePicasaUri("GOOGLEUSERNAME", "GALLERYID"));
// add the extra parameter to request full size images
photoQuery.ExtraParameters = "imgmax=d";

var photoFeed = picasaService.Query(photoQuery);

var data = photoFeed.Entries;
