I'm not sure I agree with this.  If we are going to change this  
behavior, I'd much rather see something like a "What do you want to do  
now?" message. You could redirect back to the upload screen, and  
display this message with choices like view gallery, add captions,  
etc...
This is how Flickr works, IIRC.

Of course, even better would be an Ajax image uploader :)

Looks good, thanks.

The only issue I have with this is that the images are not necessarily  
listed in chronological order, they are listed according to the  
image_sort field.  Listing them in reverse order may or may not  
provide the last uploaded image first - and it might lead to confusion  
with the user as to why there images are not in the order they have  
selected.
