Hi, In case you missed the link in the welcome message of the group, there is an entire forum dedicated to the Picasa Web Albums API:
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Picasa-Data-API Most like the issue you are running into is the photo is larger than 800 pixels and so is not embeddable in a web page: http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/faq.html#embed_image If you use the imgmax query parameter you can get a <media:content> URL that is embeddable.
