Just my three cents..

good point. I usually look for a close button anyway but having the click image to close is nice for those that do use it but not necessary.

it works great in every other respect and I for one would just leave as is...anyway I just found out by accident that if you click the center or center bottom of the image it does nothing ----but

click either the right side or the left side of the image will also take you to next or prev images...it all works in the end.
