This the right usage, put image:title and image:caption inside image:image!
It's better to use both tags.

Those tags are entirely different–and fairly self-explanatory–things. The difference between them isn't really importance, but purpose. Your descriptions will fit best in the image:caption element. Reserve image:title for if/when you have actual titles, such as a named piece of artwork. Some images don't have titles at all, and that's fine; it's why the element is optional. That's not a reason to cram an entirely different kind of data into it.
