If the example is from section 3.12.3 The Phase Keyword in the Beginning
Tutorial about making animations (only animated flag I could locate) there
shouldn't be any problem replacing Blue with:

image_map { jpeg "yourimage.jpg" }

Using whatever type image you actually have which works with POV, i.e. BMP,
TGA, PNG, etc. Can leave all else the same, although, I'd suggest trying
turbulence 0.5 in the normal to give the waves some distortion.

If you want to go beyond the static object so that it moves too, not just
the normal, then a bicubic_patch is what would work well for that since the
image can be uv_mapped.
