Is the image shown only from your site or might it have been indexed from another site?
Are you appending X-Robots-Tag: noindex to your images?
BTW, you should always use example.com here rather than your own URL.

robots.txt = don't crawl
It says nothing about indexing.
Yes, this is counter-intuitive and will drive you berserk. But that's the way it is.

The robots.txt file is not checked during Web Preview hits on your site. Which is one reason I block Web Preview accesses. It will fetch anything and everything!

assuming apache server...
http://developers.google.com/webmasters/control-crawl-index/docs/robots_meta_tag [developers.google.com]:
You can use the X-Robots-Tag for non-HTML files like image files where the usage of robots meta tags is not possible.
Here's an example of adding a noindex X-Robots-Tag directive for images files (.png, .jpeg, .jpg, .gif) across an entire site:
<Files ~ "\.(png|jpe?g|gif)$">
Header set X-Robots-Tag "noindex"
</Files>

Still doesn't apply to web preview, though: that ignores all robot directives.

the OP was discussing indexing for image search.
web preview is a different problem.
