It is possible by using the plugin:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/download-shortcode/

or

Try this code snippet

if ( $attachments = get_posts( array(
    'post_type' => 'attachment',
    'post_mime_type'=>'image',
    'numberposts' => -1,
    'post_status' => 'any',
    'post_parent' => $post->ID,
) ) );
foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) {
    echo '<a href="javascript:void(0);"
        onclick="document.execCommand(\'SaveAs\', true, \'' . get_permalink( $attachment->ID ) . '\');">
        Download This Wallpaper</a>';
}

Or by using the caption tags

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="500" caption="Download Here"]<a href="/wp-content/uploads/whateverimage.jpg"><img alt="alt_text_here" src="/wp-content/uploads/whateverimage.jpg" title="My Title of Image" width="500" height="331" /></a>[/caption]

not tested..

where do i use this code snippet, in the post or in wordpress header file ..... ? — Amir, Oct 03 '13 at 06:41

I think you should try this one:

<a href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/" download="ImageName" title="ImageName">
    <img src="image url" alt="ImageName">
</a>

thanks.
