$mainArray = explode('/', $main);
$countArray = count($mainArray);
return Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_MEDIA).'catalog/product/'.$mainArray[$countArray-3].'/'.$mainArray[$countArray-2].'/'.$mainArray[$countArray-1];

You can simply use:

echo Mage::getModel('catalog/product_media_config')->getMediaUrl($product->getImage());
