Hi Dave,
I took a look at the [url http://base.google.co.uk/support/bin/answer.py?answer=58085&hl=en_GB] Google RSS Specifications[/url] and it looks like when using <g:image_link> you just provide the url path to the image, not the actual HTML img tag.
Try something like this:
Give that a try and let me know if you run into any issues.
Hope this helps.

Hello Jason
Thanks for the reply, I have tried what you said, however doing this still doesnt show the images in the rss feed, however whenyou view the source the urls are correct it just doesnt display.
