I really like this: a search on a key word (e.g. “Shetland” in the example below) brings up a results page with a gallery of images which can be displayed with increasing levels of detail (small, medium, detail, slideshow) and, to the right, related groups, photographers, tag clusters and places. Clicking on “Lerwick” in the right-hand column takes you to another screen with a detail image over an image carousel: you can either scroll the large image or browse the carousel.
It’s not just the layout and UI design I like about this, it’s the way that various constituent parts of Flickr (individual photographers, photos and groups) are all drawn together and consequently draw you in.
As an aside, I also notice that my photo of the Breckon is now being used as the icon for the Shetland group which is quite nice.
