Thank you nope no look took. The URL pointing to a .BMP file just
went to a page advertizing a web hosting service. The only
possibilities for downloading appear to be a Premium and a Free
button. Let's see what happens when I click on "Free" :
Ah, more advertising and a notice that an intention delay of .8
minutes is used for those that haven't paid the web host's toll.
Then a list of prices, ranging from 4.50 EUR for a 48 hour short
term account on up to 54.99 EUR/year, and several payment links for
Paypal, PayByCall and Wire Transfer. Gee, it sounds so authentic
and secure. At the bottom of the page is this note:

Uh, no thanks. I don't think I'm still interested in downloading
your BMP file, which is probably just a Mickey Mouse image anyway.
At least your web host seems to be as honest as the day is long,
since none of the resellers are located in Nigeria, home of the
lonely bank notes that seek compassionate hand holding.

Hello, ASAAR:
Furthermore, would a real photographer - or even a casual snapshooter
-
post a pic in an uncompressed format, such as BMP? Even a dummy should
know that JPG is the way to go!
