Well, you'll need to chop of the last part of that string, e.g. using
the fn:replace() function:

replace("myPic.jpg", "^.*/", "")

(replace everything up to the slash with the empty string, leaving
everything that's after the slash). XQuery has a big set of string
manipulation functions, so there are different ways of achieving this.
