how to check directory exist or not

I am checking whether directory exist or not using shell script following way

if ! [ -d ./images ]
then
mv ./Images ./images
fi

In Linux, it works successfully.
But it fails in Solaris and gives "!: not found" error . How can I overcome this.

Please help

ThanQ,
Nagendra
