Yeah, I started playing with it yesterday. This UI steals stuff from both G+ and Facebook, which have been cross-fertilizing each other for a few years. Pretty soon there'll be just one basic image viewer at this rate.
It's okay, the controls are more compact than before, but it results in a much smaller image if it's a landscape (which has got to be 70% of them), and the stream navigation is broken: if you are viewing an image from one stream (say your "Following" list) and you hit the X in the upper-right to return, you instead end up viewing the image owner's stream. I added a vote to the request to make the sidebar collapsable so that landscapes will return to a decent large size again.
