When refactoring a site for accessibility, is it OK to have an img element nested within an anchor element?

I am using the Audit tab within the chrome developer tools to run a test for the accessibility of my site. One of the warnings it gave me was that my anchor tag was blocking my image. Is this a problem?

Hey Shaun,

Personally, I don't see a problem with images nested inside of anchors. I've done this many times to have the image be 'clickable' for the link (which I feel makes the UI much better). So, in my opinion, I would not worry about the 'so-called' error you are receiving.

:)
