Add description to the images by having the "alt=xxx", where xxx describes the images.

 

Here's some factors that will help optimizing your site image in search engines:
* Keywords in alt text, text around the image, image name, page title;
* Preferred image formatting - jpg;
* Separate SE accessible image folder;
* Enabled image search option at Google webmaster tool.
* Reasonable image file size
* Limited number of images per page
* Popular and reliable photo sharing hosting (e.g. Flickr is reported to help in Yahoo! image optimization).
