It's been awhile for guppies, but I think the more rectangular they look from the side (the abdomen) the closer they are to having babies. Again, I'm not a guppy guy, but I'd guess under a week.
 
Oh so she is close (maybe) thanx heaps do u know if i should move her into a new tank??
 
You could try turning your flash off, or taking the picture at an angle to the glass. Depending on the camera, you could also try taking a macro picture (usually denoted by a flower) or play around with the iso settings
 
She will become reclusive and hide near the substrate, almost laying on it. Her back will arch and her body will square off. You may notice heavy breathing and a change in her eating.

Here is a thread to help with your photos.

Also, for what I can see, her poop is red. Do you feed color enhancing flakes?

The thread about good fotos was sooo helpful thanx sooo much.. im not sure wat the food i use but i think it is just normal tropical fish flakes, is colour enhancing food bad???
