You can now see up to 20 images on a single page and when you click on the details of that image you can view a larger thumbnail, visit the web page containing the image, or view the image in full size.

I can also visit the site hosting the image or view the full size image. And as you can see, it shows more details about the image under the image. Here is a screen capture:
