Apparently for Flickr you need to do things slightly differently this should help:
| Quote: | How do I get the URL of a photo?
Some websites will ask you to provide a URL to a photo (for example, when you add a photo to your Blogger profile).
To use this method, you need to provide the web address (URL) of the image itself, not the address of the web page where the image is being displayed.
Here's an example of a correct URL for a photo:
» http://www.flickr.com/photos/132375_0ca82ae31e.jpg
Here's an example of a incorrect URL for a photo. (It points to the web page where the image is displayed, not the image file itself. You'll notice there's no .jpg on the end.)
» http://www.flickr.com/photos/eric/132375/
(Click on both of these links so you can see the difference...)
To get the URL of the actual image file, first find the photo you want to use. Then you should see an 'All sizes' link above the photo. Select the photo size you want from the available options (square, thumbnail, medium, and large or original if you have permission to access these). If you're looking at one of your own photos, you will see two text fields underneath the photo. The first one contains the URL to the image itself, and the second one contains a snippet of HTML that will produce the photo on your website, with a link back to the photo page here on Flickr. Simply copy and paste the one you're after into your website. Note: The URL should end in .jpg. If it doesn't, you probably aren't viewing the image on its own.
If you're trying to get the URL of an image that you don't own, you may not be able to access the Different Sizes page (because the owner isn't allowing downloads of their photo).
Note: Our Terms of Use dictate that whenever you place an image you're storing on Flickr on an external website, you also need to include a link back to Flickr.
