Ok, so should I go with the larger slightly more obvious label (on top) or will just numbers with a clear "You are here" indicator (bottom) be enough. Note: these images will not auto move from 1 to 2 to 3, etc. A user will have to click to see 2, 3, etc
Kill the label, especially as it looks too much like an actionable item, IMO.
I'd consider adding prev/next arrow controls, either on opposite sides of the numbers or tied in with the content that is actually changing. And since there is no autoplay (bravo!), it's double-important, IMO.
Thanks for the awesome feedback guys! I dropped the label, added left/right nav to the number part, and also put labels at the bottom of the image to navigate to the next item. It allows the labels themselves to help drive clicks. (Inside page, Logo Closeup, etc);
The inset background fades off by the bottom of the screenshot which is why it is no longer there at the bottom!

Lose the label, the target users of this site "get it" IMHO

What Dan said. If your audience knows what exactly it is, then there's no need for the label.

Or if it did have a label, it might not need to be within "the pit"

@Chris I might try that as a way of showing the label for the currently showing page.
