Redirecting google images?

    Google images has indexed a few of my pictures onto the first page of the search results. Although this gets me a lot of hits, the visitors are clicking on the thumbnail, then clicking on "view larger" so they dont actually look at my website.

    Currently i have this .htaccess code in place, but it doesnt seem to do anything

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^images.google\.com$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.images.google\.com$
    RewriteRule ^images/saddleparts.jpg$ /index.html [R=301,L]

    All i want to do is redirect the "view larger" button to my home page, as no one views the site and just goes after the images. I could use JavaScript but google would penalize me.

    Any help would be appreciated
