The only way I know to remove an image, is when you have your own website.
for example:
To remove an image from Google's image index, you have to add a robots.txt file to the root of the server that blocks the image.

An example: If you want Google to exclude the mypicture.jpg image that appears on your site at www.yoursite.com/images/mypicture.jpg, add the following to your robots.txt file:

User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /images/dogs.jpg

Like i said, this is when you run your own website.
