you have to put it on a website... easiest way is to sign up for a photobucket account (www.photobucket.com) ... you can upload it to there and then link to it from there

But how do you do this when the picture is not on a website but on your own laptop?

It can be done using your laptop but it's more complicated. You'd either publish a static IP which is your DSL router assigned by the ISP and forward requests through to the internal IP of your laptop. Or, you'd need DNS (run by your domain provider) to reflect the IP address of your router (and forward through to internal IP) for all www.yourdomain.com requests. Also, you'd need software on the laptop to allow file sharing.
Best to use web space, right?!
Oh, and your laptop would always need to be on otherwise nobody would be able to access it!
