Can you flesh your idea out a bit more? Where would you want the captions to appear, visually speaking? On hover, as a tool-tip? Directly on the banner itself? Below the banner ... like by the flag or ... where?
It's easy to say "I want this," but ... where would you want to put it? I don't see anywhere that it would flow easily, unless it's a tool-tip, which is unlikely to work for certain browsers/platforms.
Maybe a hover-over, top left or right? The lower part of the image is sort of blocked by the flag and the WA member tag. If hovers are too difficult, maybe it can just appear on the banner itself. The captions would be optional, for anyone who didn't want them.
The problem with putting it on the image itself is that it would (probably) need to be set to be a certain color. If you have a mostly dark/black image, it would need to be white. If it's a lighter/whiter image, it would need to be black. If it's got stripes or color variation, there's no single "good color" that would probably work well, in terms of contrast and look pleasing.
Again: not a techie, but for me, it seems like this would fall under the "nice to have but difficult to effectively/cleanly implement" category.
