I've never used <cfpresentation>, so my suggestions might be of limited merit.

In the first example, you're trying to use a JPG as the source.  According tot he docs (which should always be your first port of call when troubleshooting issues), the valid types are HTML (be that static of via a CFM), PPT or SWF files.  Not JPGs.

<cfpresentationslide>

In the second example you're hitting a secure site, so the CF server probably needs a certificate installed to be able to browse it.

In the third example... well it works.  'nuff said 😉
