I probably will end up adding a fixed wrapper to image, which I believe will address this issue and #22 as well...Having position: relative on image is giving me so much headache :(

Update: a fixed position wrapper with absolute image position and an image placeholder (since the actual image no longer takes space) does resolve these issues (position: fixed and overflow: hidden parents). Everything works fine except that while the image is getting closed on scrolling, the translation does not go to the precise position that takes scroll offset into account (though eventually it goes back to the correct position...). I guess this could be fixed somehow, but I haven't found a solution yet.

Opened an issue to keep track of adding image wrapper #44.

I don't intend to find a fix at this point. I'll accept it as a known issue and mention it in the README.
