I'm just stating the obvious but there is [EDIT] no [/EDit] XLINQ method to get "nodes" inside a XCDATA.Just the value/text wich is everything inside the XCData. You have to manually set up a routine to extract the needed data(s). Wich can be quite easy if all you ever need to get is the <img src="...".
