Inside of the square brackets the context node is no longer the PHOTO 
element but rather that * child element. So you either need to store the 
attribute value in a variable and use that variable e.g.
    <source>
      <xsl:variable name="n" select="@NUM"/>
      <xsl:value-of select="../../FIELDS/*[name() = concat('TITLE',$n)]"/>

or you can use the current() function e.g.
    <source>
      <xsl:value-of select="../../FIELDS/*[name() = 
concat('TITLE',current()/@NUM)]"/>
as that refers to the node currently processed by an xsl:for-each or 
xsl:apply-templates.
