When using release, you weren't freeing the image but the "pointer" to the TImage (that has to be freed using release, when you use an INT to reference an object like TImage. When you use a TImage there's no need to use release)
The image was freed up by BMax's Garbage Collector, and so will be now. When MyImage goes out of scope or is referencing Null or another image, MyPicture will be freed up.
