I would certainly prefer that no text of any kind be added to the
picture itself, but rather placed in the description page (and
embedded into the JPG/PNG file as a comment as well if desired).
Let's not clutter the visual with unnecessary distractions; just
make it clear who created the picture and what its status is using
the non-visual means provided for that.
