Google image search in C#

i found this code on github. when u type someting it will search on google and show first image to u in picturebox1 - now i want to add 3-4 other picture box and i want it to show other pictures as well (like second and third - not just the first one ). my problem is i can't understand how to do it. 

try {
        this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
        this._lblStatus.Text = "Searching...";
        this._lblStatus.Update();
        List<String> images_urls = t.SearchForImages (this._editImageText.Text.Trim());
        if (t.Error == null && images_urls.Count > 0) {
           //Show first image only
           foreach (String image_url in images_urls) {
              Bitmap bitmap = ImageUtil.LoadPicture(image_url);
              if (bitmap != null) { //sometime the server refuses getting the image directly
                 Image image = ImageUtil.ResizeImage(bitmap, pictureBox1, true);
                 pictureBox1.Image = image;
                 if (bitmap != null) bitmap.Dispose();
                 break;   //show only one image

What I have tried: i deleted the break; but it just keep searching and it never stop. i want it to be like other sites ( for ex: show 5-10 pic in every page ). what should i change ? what am i doing wrong ?

Besides deleting the break from the loop, take the first 5 images only

       foreach (String image_url in images_urls.Take(5)) {

The above filter is done by a Linq method, of course you can change the number. I guess you don't want to use pictureBox1 also for the other images: you can create the PictureBox controls with a new in the foreach loop and add them to the Controls collection
