are you get the same error for all other images you tried to download?
it seems website deny access to direct image from url based on number of access per given time period or something like that..
for example you can go to home page and click on one of image and get the direct image url. load that url in new tab and refresh several times, you will get denied error after few times

The owners of that site are not making that image publicly available so you cannot download it.

The website has protected the image for a reason, attempting to retrieve the image is violating the privacy of the website. Sorry, no can do. :/
