Inside render($item) lies an image with img tag How I may deconstruct this item, so that I write my code with img tag? The reason is just that I want to add a class to this img tag. thanks

I usually use Devel module to figure out things like this. Install and enable Devel, then add something like this to your field template file:

<?php kpr($item); ?>

This will show you all the contents of $item (arrays and objects). Then you can just print the part that you want (the img tag in this case), wrapped in the extra class.
