Create a share link to the image and then change the ?dl=0 at the end to ?raw=1.
A share link with ?dl=0 at the end will open in the preview page. This is the default behavior of a share link.
A share link with ?dl=1 at the end will force your browser to download the file. Either the browser will immediately start the download, or it will prompt the user to download the file.
A share link with ?raw=1 at the end will tell your browser to handle the file as it sees fit; either display in the browser, open in a configured application, or present it for download. Using this option you can display, for instance, an inline image in a forum post.

Rich is correct, shared links only point to an HTML preview page by default. If that's the issue, you'll need to modify them as he described. There's a help article that documents these options here:
