Richard,

There are a couple of approaches you can use.  Since you're already 
inserting a table for the legend, you could simply add a row at the top 
of the table and put the image there, setting the table orphan rows to a 
suitably high number to keep the rows together.

My own preferred method is to dedicate a pgf to each image and put only 
the anchored frames (At Insertion Point) in those pgfs.  The tag for the 
dedicated pgf is defined to Keep With Next Pgf, and the Next Pgf Tag is 
my legend pgf.  This approach also gives me control over Space Above the 
image, indentation, etc.

HTH,
