"Download" seems to be the better default, it seems to be the more usual
action. Why create a link to an image instead of simply downloading it?

Just installed gnome and am using the epiphany browser since it is
neat, But when trying to save an image, I click it and drag it to the
folder I want to put it into, and for some reason it asks me if I
want to download it? which is strange, and if I say yes, it downloads
the image again, even tho it is on my screen, taking more time than
necessary.
Thanks for your feedback!
The reason that Epiphany presents a dialog window when you drag an
image or a link to a folder, is that there are two possible actions:
either create a link to the (image) URL or download it. Epiphany does
not know in advance which of the two you meant to do, unless you use a
keyboard modifier: pressing and holding the Ctrl key while dragging
the image to the target folder will download it immedeately. Pressing
and holding Ctrl and Shift together while dragging will create a link.
I don't know if there is a good reason for downloading the image again
or whether this is something that can be fixed in Epiphany (as opposed
to Mozilla).
Question to all: shouldn't "download" be the default action, without
further questions to the user, unless the drag target is the bookmarks
editor? How often are Nautilus URL links used, anyway?
