I second the motion on the Eric Meyer style.  I made up a variety of 
styles with a couple different image sizes based upon this technique.  
To get the caption to center properly in IE and Firefox I had to make 
some adjustments in an if ie statement, which I now do regularly in an 
if_ie.css include file.  I also added tooltips to the pics.  In the most 
recent version I converted the JavaScript tooltips to CSS and am able to 
get both versions to validate for xhtml and CSS, as well as get away 
from the jumpy effect..
