You might also consider using the longdesc attribute of the img tag. This attribute takes a URI which points to a resource containing the long description of an image. You might consider putting any metadata about the image in this longdesc resource along with the long description itself.
Note that's only appropriate if "metadata" includes some sort of long alternative to/description of the image. Otherwise it's not a long description. Wikipedia misuses LONGDESC to point to mere metadata (e.g. date, file type, licencing information) and this is an example of LONGDESC "poisoning".
The more microformat-y way of doing things is to put the metadata on the image page itself:
* http://microformats.org/wiki/principles * http://microformats.org/wiki/include-pattern-faq There's a proposed "figure" microformat that this may be feedback for: http://microformats.org/wiki/figure It already has items for certain sorts of metadata. What sort of metadata are you proposing to reference? What actual problem are you trying to solve?
