    I know there was a bit of a crack down on images next to ads etc. But does anyone know if this sort of thing is ok?:

    I'm talking about the adsense block top/centre of the page, with the four images next door.

    Looks ok to me, but I'm no expert yet. Nice site too!

    Really nice placement but I think it's borderline. Perhaps make the broken-border around the images a little more prominent?

    It looks a little too much like this:

    I was thinking of trying something similar, but after reading that, I don't think it's worth the risk

    Ok, this here pretty much answers my question:

    Does this mean I can't place ads on pages with images?

    You can definitely place Google ads on pages containing images -- just make sure that the ads and images are not arranged in a way that could easily mislead or confuse your visitors. For example, if you run a stock photography site with a catalog of thumbnail images, don't line the ads up with the thumbnails in a way that could be misleading. Consider using a full border around your ads or changing your ad colors, for example.
