"John Donne stood out by using some surpring images。"
Perhaps instead of "stood out", you could use "distinguished himself"。
"He stood out by' is incorrect。 "He stood out because-" is okay。 In this case, however, he caused himself to stand out, so you should write: "John Donne made himself stand out by。
。。"
You might change "images" to "imagery" (which means the use of expressive or evocative images in art, literature, or music)
"Surprising" is probably not quite the right adjective either, depending on the context。
。startling or unusual might be better。
I would rewrite the sentence this way:
"John Donne distinguished himself with his use of unusual/surprising/startling imagery。
"
or
"John Donne made himself stand out by using images in unusual/startling ways。"
