Did google analytics dropped visits from images.google.com ?

After 60% drop in reported traffic, this might be the cause

Hi,
after unexplained 60% drop in google analytics traffic, I tried to find the cause so isolated the last days.

I noticed that analytics doesn't report any images.google.com as referral. Before I had tons of links from there.

So did it dropped these visits count from analytics ? Has anyone noticed this ?

Is that removed the images? or just put them significantly lower in the results.
Are you sure you aren't blocking Googlebot from you image directory - if it is the former. I've seen server techs do this to save bandwidth before now.
