   top: -60px; text-align: right; padding:10px 10px 10px 10px; }’ Which puts the
   caption just were i want it, But I can’t get ride of the gray border around the

 * I could not see the caption, and had to adapt the CSS;
 * try:
 *     ```
       .wp-caption { position: relative; border: none; background: transparent; }
       p.wp-caption-text {
       position: absolute;
       top: 20px;
       text-align: right;
       ...etc...
       ```
   
 * to remove the padding around the image whihc causes the slight reduction in width
   of the captioned image, consider to add filter, as described in the caption shortcode:
 *     ```
       /**
       	 * Filter the width of an image's caption.
       	 *
       	 * By default, the caption is 10 pixels greater than the width of the image,
       	 * to prevent post content from running up against a floated image.
       	 *
       	 * @since 3.7.0
       	 *
       	 * @see img_caption_shortcode()
       	 *
       	 * @param int    $caption_width Width of the caption in pixels. To remove this inline style,
       	 *                              return zero.
       	 * @param array  $atts          Attributes of the caption shortcode.
       	 * @param string $content       The image element, possibly wrapped in a hyperlink.
       	 */
       	$caption_width = apply_filters( 'img_caption_shortcode_width', $caption_width, $atts, $content );
       ```
   
 * please ask the developer of your theme for help to implement that; [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products)
