Combine two sql select queries (in postgres) with LIMIT statement

I've got a table and I want a query that returns the last 10 records created plus the record who's id is x.

I'm trying to do - 

SELECT * FROM catalog_productimage
ORDER BY date_modified
LIMIT 10
UNION
SELECT * FROM catalog_productimage
WHERE id=5;

But it doesn't look like I can put LIMIT in there before UNION. I've tried adding another column and using it for sorting -

SELECT id, date_modified, IF(false, 1, 0) as priority FROM catalog_productimage
UNION
SELECT, id, date_modified, IF(true, 1, 0) as priority FROM catalog_productimage
WHERE id=5
ORDER BY priority, date_modified
LIMIT 10;

but I'm not making much progress..

Just checked that this will work:

(SELECT * FROM catalog_productimage
ORDER BY date_modified
LIMIT 10)
UNION
SELECT * FROM catalog_productimage
WHERE id=5;

This will give you records from 10th to 20th and should get you started.i will reply back with SQLfiddle

SELECT *  
  FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY cat_id) cat_row_no, a.* FROM catalog_productimage a where x=5)  
 WHERE cat_row_no > 10 and cat_row_no <20
