You may have to give us a better sense of what it is that you want to 
happen. If you have an image frame completely embedded in a text frame, 
for left justification you will justify to the left border of the text 
frame and then left justify to the right border of the contour line. I 
don't know of any other scheme that makes sense.

There are more complicated possiblities, but they would I think involve 
multiple linked text frames, with varying justification.
