I do not think that you’ll be happy to know that Google do not allow images next to your AdSense ads now.
There’s been some confusion by users, but according to Adsense police you can definitely add Google ads on pages containing images, so that ads and images are not places in a way that could easily mislead or confuse your visitors.
You can choose to change your ad color or add a border to differentiate the ads from the images, but Google do not allow that you arranged adsense ads next images, because it can be confusing at the users.
Google police says:
“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.“
and also
“I think the post important point here is, while you can change your ad color or use full border to differentiate the ads from the images, you won’t be in compliance with their policies as long as you use thumbnail images next to your ads in a way that can be misleading.“
