On a directory, the "x" part

On a directory, the "x" part determines if the role can go into it.

So only the owner of the directory could. Most systems, the webserver runs as something other than the owner's account (apache, nobobdy, etc). So with the setting you had, you could have FTP'd in and seen it, but the web server couldn't.

If this is NOT a directory that the webserver needs to write to, then you should do chmod 755 so that only the owner can write, but everyone else can read it and go into it.

If it is a dynamically generated image, double check the headers being sent with it.

Copy / paste the URL from the produced source.
If the image comes up - weird.
Usually, you'll get a helpful error code - 404 - not found, 403 - Forbidden (file permission error), etc.
