Gridview Template field not displaying image

Hi guys I have a gridview as below with a template field that displays an image based on the URL in the database. The database column is called pl.

The problem is if the URL is something like folder/folder/default.jpg it does not display it but if its folder/jpg it displays it??

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" 
                    BorderColor="White" CssClass="mGrid" ShowHeader="False" BorderStyle="None">
                <Columns>
                <asp:BoundField DataField="fullname"/>
                <asp:BoundField DataField="fteam"/>
                <asp:BoundField DataField="city"/>
              <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Picture ">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# Eval("pl") %>' />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
                </Columns>
                    <AlternatingRowStyle CssClass="alt" />
                </asp:GridView>

Thank you all it was my mistake the folder was thumbnails/DF5B8AA15DD8259F8912E35838310AF49E4A23AB and this was stored in an nvarchar(50) field that was automatically truncating the first bit!
