Looks like I have a same problem.

No images in Google on my site:www.nikitart.com

I have alt tags etc.

I even add all pictures to sitemap.xml with image tags by hand

Looks like mikoarts.com did something so he is in google now but I don't see difference in page code.

may be its coz alt is set for M thumbs not for l ones which are big
and there is no title

Hi, m thumbnails are displayed in the site, but large thumbnails are displayed in popup so in fact such images should not be accessible for bots - as popups then are not rendered by search robots.
