Photo annotation
This module allows you to create comments on photos similar to Flickr and Facebook (see screenshots below). It can notify users when a photo is tagged and comments are added.
This module is partially compatible with rWatcher's [url=http://codex.galleryproject.org/Gallery3:Modules:tagfaces]TagFaces module[/url] which means that faces/notes/annotations created with one module will be shown by the other as well (user annotations create with the Photo annotation module will however not be shown by the TagFaces module).
IMPORTANT: You cannot run both modules at the same time.
