Yes. You need to assure that the URL you link to contains nothing but an image; in most cases it will hold an extension such as ".png" or ".jpg" or even ".gif" but in rare cases it will be nothing but a string of characters (use Preview to see if it worked). For instance, I can go onto Google images and right click an image to get its URL and paste that into the IMG tags like so:
