i'm not sure that flickr links to jpgs are particularly stable, you may
want to consider that in your documentation of a flickr link. flickr links
these days look like this:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/nfgusedautoparts/8596790653/

and while you can dig up a direct link to a jpg, it looks like this:

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8366/8596790653_06bb215baf_k_d.jpg

and i'm just not persuaded that flickr will honor this as a permanent
link.
