Centering an element is easy enough, but the actual solution depends on
whether you want to center only the image or the entire div.
Block-elements - preferably non-positioned (no 'position: absolute;'
used) - can be horizontally centered by declaring 'margin: 0 auto;' on
the element itself.
Inline-elements - that's what an image is by default - can be centered
by declaring 'text-align: center;' on the container for that image.
That's then often followed by declaring 'text-align: left;' on any
text-carrying elements inside the same container, so only the image gets
centered.
If you want an exact solution for your case, then you must provide a
link to a live example. We need to see what other styles and conditions
it's subjected to.
As an example of how you can manipulate positioning/centering of images,
the following may be of some use...
