Sending Link of a Photo

Is there a way to send a link of a photo in the gallery to someone in an email. Again, this might be something that takes custom javascript, but I thought I would at least ask. We would like to allow users to send a link to friends to have them vote for their pet photo. Then their friend would be able to click the link in the email and take them to that picture in the gallery. The "send an email to a friend" page is tell_a_friend.php

and the gallery page is gallery.php

In most of the galleries js file there is an initial property. This property determines what picture loads first. You could make this value a dynamic one by adding in some js to pull the value from a URL parameter rather than just start at 0.

If you set it up like this you could then link to the page with the gallery on it and just include the URL parameter that your js is looking for and set the value to the image in that gallery that you would like to show.
