Icons for Pictures With Descriptions?

Does anybody else think it would be a good idea to have a small icon or something (even just a dot) to indicate which pictures in a gallery have a description, kind of like already exists for pictures with comments? I find that I get a better sense of a location when someone takes the time to describe what's in the picture (as long as it's not super-obvious) and I think it would be cool to know which pics have a description that goes with them.

Maybe this is not a useful option (or maybe it would be better if people just used the "Story" function instead), but I think it could be cool.

Matt... great idea.
I'm sure I've missed many a description because my screen requires scrolling down in order to see if there is one.
I'm with you.. the history and stuff is great but a well narrated photo gallery can make for some fun viewing.
Again, good suggestion.

I think this is a good idea too. Normally I just click through the pictures, without scrolling each page down to see if there's anything written about them.

Perhaps a little tag in the corner of the thumbnail?

Yes, but you still wouldn't know while slideshowing. Perhaps, as well, a little tag in the corner of the actual pic. Or generated along with the index numbering: 2 / 20 island3.jpg >> 2 / 20 island3.jpg *D
