Whether the image is visible must be determined when the page is rendered. The actual loading of the image is done in another request. Thus two times to ask the databse.

Alternatively you may render a default resource (e.g. https://www.google.com/search?q=no+image) if your database doesn't have any data to stream back when the image is requested.

Sven
