I'm not sure GPL is what you would apply to images

My favorite license for created text and images would be CC0 (cee-cee-zero)

http://creativecommons.org/about/cc0

which pretty much has the effect of a dedication to the public domain.

CC-BY is also a good choice if you want acknowledgement that you
created it to be preserved.
