Looks like sharing photos from Flickr isn't exactly straightforward, so here's a quick tutorial.
1) from Flickr, select Share this photo
2) click on the pin symbol => you should get a BBCode which looks like this:
[url=http://flic.kr/p/kDKq9z][img]http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3826/12897959993_a654e00dd2.jpg[/img][/url]
3) paste that BBCode in your message:
(http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3826/12897959993_a654e00dd2.jpg) (http://flic.kr/p/kDKq9z)
Advantages:
- you get a nicely sized image that doesn't force the viewer to scroll a lot
- you get a link back to your Flickr page
- you respect Flickr's guidelines

Where is the HTML code and photo file link?
The HTML code to embed a photo in a web page that you used to find on the All Sizes page is now only in the Share menu on the photo, to the left of the More menu. We now also include BBCode! (standard message board code)
There are a few cases where the code may not be available: 1) If the photo is restricted. 2) If that person has turned off "Share this" or access to original files.
The direct link to a photo file is no longer shown on the page. Per the Flickr Community Guidelines "pages on other websites that display content hosted on flickr.com must provide a link from each photo or video back to its page on Flickr." Linking directly to the photo file doesn't do this.
Thanks Alex. I will try it next time. :)
