Not sure if helpful, but would it make sense to to target images via the tbm parameter (like we do for some Google Search API types?)

Basic testing with isch seems to work as intended. I only mention this because future additions like videos or news would be easier to "switch on". Unless we prefer to break this out entirely - which is fine!
