   FIrst off, I would give your picture the alt attribute. Somethin like this: alt="Image1"

   The 'alt' element is required for images. Add it as do77 suggested. That's all I see wrong, honestly. The logic, as I understand it, is that images are invisible to certain kinds of browsers, say to screen readers for the blind. The alt attribute provides something for those readers to grab onto. The 'alt' element also provides a fallback in case your image goes missing or becomes corrupt.
