It would be really handy if I could attach external URLs (e.g. http:// and file:// would go a long way) to pictures as an extension of the commenting functionality.  E.g. I take a picture of the Eiffel Tower and make a link to its Wikipedia page, and another to my blog entry for that day.

For me, the photo album isn't just an easy way of recording pictures, it's also a record of my trip - where I went, what I did, what happened.  I like to put background information in the comments.  It'd be nice to be able to link to bookmarked websites too.  My mother used to write notes on the back of photographs, which I guess was a low tech version of this ;-)
