Anyone can take the image and hash it and look for that hash in the blockchain and they’ll see your name next to it. But the way it is sold to people 99% of the time is that the image itself has some value because it’s a piece of art or it’s aesthetically pleasing to look at or it was created by a respected person or whatever, when none of those matter at all, the image could be literally static and it would work the same way.
In fairness though, there isn’t actually any bitcoin in Bitcoin, there’s literally just transaction records of who paid who, and you can add those up to calculate how much someone would have. When you buy a Bitcoin you’re basically just buying a receipt that says someone paid you a Bitcoin, you don’t actually get a Bitcoin even though that’s how it’s marketed. Yet people manage to buy/trade/sell/hold Bitcoin without issue, so maybe NFTs will also work
