center image preview with lightbox and caption

I just wanted a thumbnail or preview of the image, where if clicked it would load into a lightbox, but the preview just shows the center of whatever image is added to it. 

Note: I just picked random images and they are centered, so... /runs

HTML

<a href='https://i.imgur.com/2S7oKAT.png' class='fancybox'>
  <div class='image-bg'></div>
  <figcaption>Click This Image! (or dont...)</figcaption>
</a>

<!-- so now we can just switch the image source, but it needs a new bg class for each, which is annoying, unless we move to ... inline styles -->
<!-- It does make it a bit more messy, but easier to update inline. -->
<a href='https://images.pexels.com/photos/9589961/pexels-photo-9589961.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=750&w=1260' class='fancybox'>
  <div class='image-bg' style="background:url(https://images.pexels.com/photos/9589961/pexels-photo-9589961.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=750&w=1260) center no-repeat;"></div>
  <figcaption>Click This Image! (or dont...)</figcaption>
</a>

CSS

.image-bg {
  	height:200px;
  	width:100%;
  	margin-bottom:10px;
  	background:url(https://i.imgur.com/2S7oKAT.png) center no-repeat;
  	background-size:cover;
}
/*  */

Javascript

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".fancybox").fancybox({
          helpers: {
              title : {
                  type : 'float'
              }
          }
      });
 });

therock Somewhere along this crazy road I learned (often times the hard way) the most important things I can do is be authentic, trust my gut, be the hardest worker in the room, celebrate the mistakes, be a grateful man and always remember that it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Random CSS Property

rotate

The rotate CSS property allows you to specify rotation transforms individually and independently of the transform property. This maps better to typical user interface usage, and saves having to remember the exact order of transform functions to specify in the transform property.
