@CHEBURASHKA `ImageIcon` can use a URL so perfect for what you want (generally though you dont want to rely on an external address for resources) — Reimeus, Feb 24 '14 at 00:02

First we must find the element. Note that the element must be the <img> element.

WebElement imageElement = driver.findElement(By.id("imageID"));

Next, we get the url of the image within that element:

String imagePath = imageElement.getAttribute("src");

We convert it into a URL:

URL imageUrl = URL(imagePath);

Then we read it into an image:

Image image = ImageIO.read(imageUrl);

Finally, we put it in an JOptionPane:

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "message", "title", JOptionPane.OK_OPTION, new ImageIcon(image));

Now, please note that I have split the code into separate lines because I want you to actually understand what the code is doing. None of the steps are particularly hard, and would have definitely been possible with some google searches.
