RSS 2.0 includes the optional 'enclosure' element. You could use that. According to the definition it

describes a media object that is attached to the item

Generally it's done in it's own namespace, here's an example from techcrunch's feed.

<media:content url="http://www.mobilecrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/iphone3gs11.jpg" medium="image">
   <media:title type="html">iphone3gs11</media:title>
</media:content>

Then you'll need to add the namespace as an attribute on <rss>

xmlns:media="search.yahoo.com/mrss/"

This is what I believe apps like pulse and flipboard try to use for there visual readers.
