I have a wordpress Blog at http://www.ampercent.com.The XML sitemap is at http://www.ampercent.com/sitemap.xml
But i host all my post images at http://img.ampercent.com.
Do i need a Separate Sitemap at http://img.ampercent.com and include it to google webmaster tools to include my images in Google image search results ?

There is no need to have sitemap for images because google finds images while crawling site pages. The best you can do to enhance image search for your blog is to:
1) (re)Name images like: important-keyword.jpg
2) Fill alt, title and description tags,
3) Add captions explaining what is in photo
4)* Insert thumbnailed (smaller size) image in your post and link it to the full size of the image.
You have a nice blog by the way :)

It's a good idea to have separate sitemap for subdomains unless you can club multiple sitemaps and submit to Google Webmaster Tools. For ex. I am having website http://www.idlefolks.com and have mutiple subdomains like india.idlefolks.com. I used sitebuilder to create sitemaps for root domain as well as subdomains. Submitted all sites to "Google Webmaster Tools" and their corresponding sitemaps. I was having option to create sitemaps in one root directory and submit all for root domains only. Not sure if i am making sense. Pls see this post for more details.
