I truly think you should reconsider a top panel like that just
for a home and next button. You have so much room in the content
panel, above and below the picture. Then it is so simple. You
have a left panel with the links, if you must have thumbnails -
against my advice :) - then style the left div to centre all
with devices like margin-left:auto, margin-right:auto and give a
padding for grace esp if you might put a nice right border (it
might be a bit severe all black and no border!). You float this
div "left" and your other div is just a straightforward exercise
in html and css: I would have an <h1>Title of pic</h1>, style
this to center by say margin-left:auto, margin-right:auto and a
width of a suitable em, a font-size you fancy - 140%? Then a div
(styled similarly but now you know the width in px because it is
your pic). Then a following div or p with a next and home link,
centred underneath. Should be a simple clean look.

I can't see why you see a problem on a small screen, even the
tiniest? You centre such simple and few links and they will
always be there and centred. See above.
