Get access and render document's image in Liferay's Display Template

Question

I'm using Liferay 6.2 CE and I would like create a very simple Application Display Template for Asset Publisher which would display only one image without any additional metadata. The purpose of this is to allow page admin to just drag and drop an existing document (which contains only an image) that would e.g. fill entire column on a page.

My problem is that I don't know how to access this image.

I would like to do something like this:

<#assign img=renderRequest.getImageUrl()>
<img url="{$img}" />

I've used freemarker to list all attributes

<#assign x=renderRequest.getAttributeNames()>

<#list x as item>
    <br/>
    ${item}
</#list>

which gave me the result:

But I still can't figure out which attribute is responsible for retrieving images... Or is there any other way to achieve this?

My opinion for this approach you need new Web Content Structure and Web Content Template (and not Application Display Template).

Create new Web Content Structure with only one image field:

Create new Web Content Template:

ans associate structure and template:
