Blank spaces in image file name

Hi Everyone,

​

some friends and I have a vector library site. We have really poor SEO for our images.. which is kind of key for our type of site. So I have started investigating a little. Am extremely n00b on SEO stuff. One thing that I've seen a big difference in compared to my competitors. We have a lot of blank spaces on our image filenames. I understand that underscores are bad in comparison to hyphens BUT what about blank spaces? Could this be a reason for our image SEO to be so poor?

​

UPDATE:

Like this "Man walking diagonally away cad blocks.png" vs. "Man-walking-diagonally-away-cad-blocks.png"

​

Which is better and why and does it affect much you think?
