    You can't view photo stream photos on icloud.com if that's where you are looking.  You can only view them on a device or computer that is signed into your iCloud account with photo stream enabled.

     

    If you want to view photos on the web, you'll have to add them to a shared stream with the Public Website setting enabled (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).  This will give you a private url to view them on the web from any computer.  You can invite yourself or anyone else as a subscriber to view them.
