Re: original size url

Hi Jassa,

Ah - I see the problem... It looks like the photo was
uploaded at 
800x531 pixels so a large image wasn't actually created
(large images 
are created for photos which are > 1000 pixels on their
largest side I 
think).

If you put the photo id into Flickr's API Explorer:

http://www.flickr.com/services/api/expl
ore/?method=flickr.photos.getSizes

You will see that what flickr are reporting as the
"large" size is 
infact the original image (shown by the _o in it's
filename).

To deal with photos like this you will need to call
photosGetSizes or 
alternatively always try to use the original image...

Hope that helps,

Kelvin
