Well, you don't tell us how you are displaying the image, so I am forced to guess. I am assuming a picturebox displaying the image at it's native resolution. So, in that case:

class MyForm : Form
{
    public MyForm()
    {
        picturebox1.MouseDown += picturebox1_MouseDown;       
    }

    private void picturebox1_MouseDown( object sender, MouseEventArgs e )
    {
        if( (e.Button & MouseButtons.Left) == MouseButtons.Left )
        {
            var imagePos = e.Location; // that's it
        }
    }
}

If your image is scaled you will need to do the math. Get the Width and Height of the control and figure out the ratio between them and the dimensions of your image. Multiply the click position by that ratio.
