Hey Verender 
It is working great man... But we have to do some modifications.
One is visualforce extension controller name. Replace the controller name  '' myAccount " with " myContact " like extensions="myContact".
And we have to create a field Photo__c in the contact object.
and replace  " imageurl__c " with " photo__c " in the code.

 

Great effort Veeru, thanks alot

Hey Hari can you plaese tell me what is the type of that Photo__c field
Mustafa JhabuawalaMustafa Jhabuawala
Instead of this you can also use default feature for uploading an attachment of salesforce which will save lot of time and you can code less and achieve more
Lakshman KanukolluLakshman Kanukollu
Create a Visualforce page without the standard Salesforce header and display an image using the Visualforce image component.
The page must be named 'DisplayImage'.
It must NOT display the standard Salesforce header.
It must use a Visualforce apex:image component to display this image - https://developer.salesforce.com/files/salesforce-developer-network-logo.png
