Christians from a biblical/fundamentalist tradition will say yes, it certainly is, since it is a form of idolatry. Roman Catholics and others who come more from a sacramental tradition of religion will say that if you have the right spirit, and are using the 'sacramental' image to help you focus on God, or to invoke the intercession of a recognized saint, then it is not only ok but urged.

What is a holy image prayed to by eastern orthodox Christians called?
This image is called a holy icon. The Orthodox pray to God, not to icons. Icons are used to ask a saint to pray to God on our behalf. This is called venerating (or honouring). By venerating icons we ask for the saints to pray to God for us, because we know that God hears all prayers, but especially the prayers of his saints, as we read in Revelation 5:8 and in Revelation 8:3-4 "…the prayers of the saints, ascended before God…" Both Orthodox Christians and Roman Catholics (and even some Protestants) accept icons as an important part of Christian life, as this was determined by the Seventh Ecumenical Council.
