The CSS code of the above effect consists of four elements. The “.wrap” is used to assign a container to the image we are about to use. The second element “.display” is used to position the image and hide overflowing of caption elements. The class “.caption” used to define the look and appearance of caption. And last “#txt_stl” to alter the appearance and position of our caption text.

HTML CODE:

<div class="wrap">
     <div class="display">
      <img src="Your image URL" width="250" height="250" />
        <div class="caption">
            <div id="txt_stl">
                  Foggy Morning
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

The HTML part of this effect is simple, all you have to do is place the txt inside the <div> container with proper class and id’s used in your CSS code.
