A simple
css3 snippet share, to show image hover effects with caption text. I recently saw a website where the author of the site nicely presented his description using simple CSS3 and his own photo. Previously we use to do with having our own photo and beneath we use to write small description, but now
CSS3 is here to help us.
Lets start with basic HTML layout. We will use an image, and the overlay text will be within the mask. On hover the mask will appear with CSS3 transition effect.

Basic HTML
[html]
<div class="view view-sixth" style="margin-bottom:30px">
<img src="PATH_TO_AUTHOR_IMAGE">
<div class="mask">
<h2>Hi, my name is Ntechi</h2>
<p>I am a php coder and sharing a simple CSS3 effect </p>
