A constructor has no return type. What you wrote there is a regular
instance method that takes an Image parameter and returns an Image.

I stand to be corrected, but I doubt you understood what it is that you
did there with

return this.image = image;

This is legal. It's just not good practise. In any case it's not what
you wanted, because you won't be returning anything from a constructor
once you've actually written one.
