The Official RANDOM photo thread!
I thought it was just a small pic. ;-)
Do you have it hosted somewhere or on the hard drive? Most like the problem is a address error. For my pics, I open two windows. I leave the NAM window and in the 2nd window I bring up my picture. Click on properties, copy the address,
Go back to the NAM window, open the picture icon, paste the address in the bar.
Most common problem for me. When the NAM picture icon comes up - there is "http://" in the address location. If you click in that location before you paste, there will be two ( ig. "http://http://dac.smugmug.com/Cars/cars-and-coffee/20110409/DSC0873/1245258325_haTzL-M.jpg instead of http://dac.smugmug.com/Cars/cars-and-coffee/20110409/DSC0873/1245258325_haTzL-M.jpg). One that was there and one that came with the location of your original address. You need to make sure there is only one. I have got in the habit of cleaning the address bar before I paste the picture location.

I know it's not a MINI, but I didn't think you guys would mind me posting this photo. Panorama made from two photos merged together. From a shoot I did this past Wednesday.

CooperSGB - really nice image, and I'm envious that you get to take a panorama of such a nice car!
One tip you might like to consider - from one who owns a red car - is to try pulling the white balance down a little towards the blue end. It tends to give a bit more shape to the surfaces and has the handy side-effect, on red cars, of darkening off the reflections a touch.

Looks like LOTS of Australia. I guess the algae has to live somewhere...
