Trouble with facebook sharing image

    Hi,
    I have a small blog (www.thestrayphotographer.com) based on wordpress and have installed the addthis plugin in order to allow people to share my posts on social media.
    However lately, and I don't know why, I have trouble getting the sharing image to appear when I try and share my post. For my last post, after doing some google I put this code into the post page:

    <meta content="[http://www.thestrayphotographer.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Tibetan-Bread.jpg]" />
    Code (markup):
    When I shared it on my fan page, it worked, but later when I reshared from my fan page to my personal fcebook page, the image did not appear.

    Does anyone know why this could be? The issue only started occuring after updating to wordpress 3.7. I'm using the photocrati theme if that is important.

    Is there a useful plugin that would resolve this and would even allow me to select the actual sharing image rather than it being a random three images?

    Many thanks for any help.

    What I do is just write the actual link on Facebook and it automatically catches up the images and I select the image I want. And shared it!
