It would better if you were to provide a screen shot that is of more substance. However, based on the image here I would say this is a violation. What purpose does the image serve other than to draw attention to your ad units?
Read some of the other posts made here and you will soon find out that google has just stopped that kind of ad placement. If I were you I would not put my account in risk of being banned. Its better safe than sorry.
honestly, if anyone is asking "should I not do this..." in regards to adsense, you probably should just remove it and stop. if you need to ask, don't bother doing it. I've never questioned my ad positioning because I know it's compliant.
As per new terms your picture and ads are related to each other. Your site provides information about earning money and you have dollars pictures. So its violation of terms.
You are violating the terms, check by yourself: http://adsense.blogspot.com/2006/12/ad-and-image-placement-policy.html
