I am retrieving some images post with:

$img = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id, 'full' );

How can I retrieve the image title?

Thanks.

In WordPress attachments are stored as posts so you can use most of the post specific WordPress calls and functions to read/write data associated with the attachment. This applies to post meta data for an attachment as well.

So in this case, since you have the post ID ( same as $attachment_id ) you can simply use the get_the_title() function:
```
$sImageTitle = get_the_title( $attachment_id );
```
This returns a string of the post’s title for the given post ID.

See more info. at the codex docs here.
