Implementation in JavaScript:

Good: * Works.
Bad: * Needs to load thumbnails twice (for hi-res versions). * Excessive API usage for getting hi-res thumbnails, but could be grouped for multiple files per query (I'm just too lazy to implement now). * Also too lazy to implement changing img title, but possible.
Feel free to improve!

These look fantastic! I think with hover over captions as optional it could be a big hit.

Requiring a hoover to see a caption becomes an impediment to non sight readers who rely on various readers.
Not if implemented properly. e.g. utilising the <img> tag's title/alt attributes - in which case it's actually better than the current implementation!
