thank you for your help!
It works, although it needs this further refinement:

ImageCompose[i1, {Graphics[{Red,
    Rectangle[{xmin, ny - ymin}, {xmax, ny - ymax}]},
   PlotRange -> {{0, nx}, {0, ny}}], 0.5}]

if I want to be consistent with coordinates given in other Mathematica
functions
(e.g. ImageTake[i1, {ymin, ymax}, {xmin, xmax}] which I use on the
same image...)

I just would like the coordinates were less confusing in M !
