add this
if(has_post_thumbnail()) {
$thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id();
$args = array(
'ID' => $thumb_id,
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'post_parent' => $post->ID,
'numberposts' => 1
);
$attachments = get_posts($args);
if ($attachments) {
foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {
the_attachment_link($attachment->ID, false);//display the image
echo apply_filters('the_title', $attachment->post_excerpt);//display the caption
}
}
}
after while (have_posts()) : the_post();

My apologies, I will be more specific. I am looking to display the featured image and then display the caption for that featured image below it.
I do not think the link to the wordpress codex explains how to do that. Thanks anyways.

Pls try this code...

I could not get this to work, how would I implement it into the following template...
get_header(); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="wrap-inner" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($page->ID, 'full'); ?>
</div>
<div id="page-content" class="wrap">
<div class="wrap-inner">
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyten' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentyten' ), '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
</div>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
</div><!-- #post-## -->
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
