Did you UPLOAD the image or just put it in the images subdirectory of
your installation?

Uploaded images don't go directly in the images directory, instead
some kind of multi-level directory structure is used.  I haven't dug
through the code to figure out how it works, and it's quite likely
that even putting a file in the right place won't make it accessible
as an image since there also needs to be info in the database.  So the
net is that you really need to upload images to make them accessible
via the [[Image:...]] syntax.

Judging by the name of the image file in your example, you might be
wanting to change the the site logo, if that's the case look at the
documentation for the $wgLogo variable.
