But Google doesn't want to append these images in its index base.
How can I improve accessibility these images for Google?

When having using server side resizing I would recommend that you either create a URL rewrite or (since your are on the .NET platform) use a HTTP module (System.Web.IHttpModule) that handles image request.

The basic idea is that you can have your URLs like this in your HTML /2ce5a421-d71a-4dba-9d54-3103058e15b2.jpg?w=300, but actually serve a URL like this: imgrs.axd?w=300&file=2ce5a421-d71a-4dba-9d54-3103058e15b2.jpg

But for that to have decent effect on SEO, you should name your files to something meaningful - i.e. sunny_beach.jpg instead of 2ce5a421-d71a-4dba-9d54-3103058e15b2.jpg.

Looking at your site, I think your ranking issues have more to do with your watermarks than your URLs. Google likes to rank "high quality images". This generally means large, full color, clean images.

You have watermarks all over your images. This is detectable by the Google algorithms and makes it much less likely for your images to show up in image search.
