to downlaod them to your computer then get some online storage space like photobucket or any other cloud and store them there. Copy links from there and paste the URL in the body of your comments.or

Do you have an iCloud account? You can log into that on your computer and download your photos from there, too.

Go to your photos on your iphone and select the image. You will see on the lower left side of the screen a little box with an UP arrow. Select the message app (iMessage) and it will open with the selected image. Send it to your email address and open it in your email on your computer. Drag it to where ever you want on your computer...
You can also do it with google drive. Install google drive on both your computer and iphone. Same thing, select the image, little box with arrow, select google drive. Go to google drive on your computer and the image is automagically their too. YMMV works for me..

I think you could up load the picture to a photo website like photobucket,flicker, smugmug or some such photo storage/sharing website. Then you would have a "WWW.com" address to place a copy/paste on DU...
I know if I copy/paste a youtube address, the youtube vid shows up, not just the address..
Give it a shot and see if it works...
