I haven't tried this, but you can try adding this to the very top of item.php
<meta property="og:image" content="<?php echo $this->item->image; ?>"/>

It will grab the article main image. The meta is part of Facebook Open Graph. Great tool developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

There is no change when I implement this, so I guess that it is now taken care of in a native way from K2. My problem is that in order to be able to post it on Facebook, I need to have a central tiny 200x200px image which seems too little against the body (text).
