You'll have to append a "imgmax=d" parameter to your photo query request.
Then the media content URL will be pointing at the original image file,
which you can then download.
The parameters to specify desired image/content and thumbnail sizes are
documented here:
http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/docs/2.0/reference.html#Parameters
See in particular the paragraph under the table.
