1) Google Images
Excellent resource. Very fast and compehensive. Good reference info for each image.
2) AltaVista Picture Search
Good image database. Great variety. Search options.
3) Alltheweb Image Search
Good image database. Search options available.
4) Ixquick Picture Search
Taps other image resources. Small thumbnails. Limited.
5) Lycos Multimedia
Good in depth but unfriendly due to excessive use of advertising and promotions on the side. Small thumbnails, few pictures displayed at a time.
6) Yahoo Picture Gallery
Interesting resource with lots of good images from a variety of sources (including Corbis).
7) Picsearch
This is as of today the image search engine I like the most. Great variety, extreme reach, fast, easy to use, good thumbnails and lots of good reference info. Couldn't be better.
8) Ditto
Even though Ditto suffers from too much inbreeding with advertisements and other product promotions it is still a fully image-dedicated search engine trying to survive through a dubious business model.
9) GettyImages
Exceptionally good in many commercial and artistic areas. Great resource.
10) Photos.com
A non-competitor of the two above "giants" (among very many) which I like to recommend for its ease of use and 100,000-wide selection of "royalty-free" images.
