Beta is a test preview of the change that is getting ready to be implemented soon. It can be for a limited group of flickr members, intended to seek feedback and correct faults ( if any), before it is made public.
Change is good and public has always welcomed good changes. The preference for Windows XP by most people even after the introduction of Vista is a classic example of public acceptance. The public liked and preferred the predecessor ( Windows XP ) and the follower ( Windows 7 and Windows 8 ) versions of Vista. A change is good and often gladly welcomed by public, if it provides more utilities and user friendliness, without depriving even a single advantage of the predecessor.
The Beta version is unacceptable to the majority of Flickr users* ( who happened to experience it ) , because it's not user friendly and has only disadvantages to mention. *Please check the Beta feedback : Completed / Top ideas / Hot ideas
The layout itself is a disaster. Please check : Try our new photo experience beta / Comment box
However they try, it's quite evident that it's impossible to provide more space for descriptions, comment box, and comments; not to mention comments with pictures , group invites / awards. The more they try to fix it, the more cumbersome it becomes. The buddy icons now appear as dots making the page more unaesthetic than what you see in the earlier pictures of beta . They are desperately trying to make it appealing and user friendly, which is literally impossible with the proposed layout .
It's a big challenge for the programmers to try find means to provide more space in a vertical column which is already cramped.

My Photoblog- My Third Eye...!
These were the other two photos that I considered for the Macro Mondays Sidelit theme... I would have had to crop the pots quite a lot, but I like the way the texture really shows up on them. And I think the graphic on the one I ended up using is way more interesting than the familiar Recycle graphic here.
Ultimately chose this one:

Das Gemälde ist eine Anspielung auf die damals zunehmende Arbeitslosigkeit nach der Wiedervereinigung der beiden deutschen Staaten BRD und DDR.
The painting is an allusion to the then rising unemployment after the reunification of the two German States FRG and the GDR.

Happy Xmas (War Is Over) ist ein Lied von John Lennon und Yoko Ono, das erstmals am 1. Dezember 1971 als Single in den USA veröffentlicht wurde. In Großbritannien erfolgte die Veröffentlichung erst knapp ein Jahr später am 24. November 1972.
Entstanden im historischen Umfeld des Vietnamkriegs als Protestlied, entwickelte es sich im Laufe der Zeit im angelsächsischen Sprachraum zu einem geradezu klassischen Weihnachtslied. Der Text basiert auf dem Slogan einer Antikriegs-Kampagne von Lennon und Ono aus dem Dezember 1969. Für diese Kampagne mieteten die beiden Werbeflächen auf Plakatwänden in mehreren großen Städten weltweit, darunter New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Tokio, Rom und Berlin. Die Aufschrift lautete: “WAR IS OVER! IF YOU WANT IT Happy Christmas from John & Yoko” (deutsch: „Der Krieg ist aus! Wenn du es willst. Fröhliche Weihnachten von John und Yoko“). 1971 waren die Vereinigten Staaten noch stark in den zunehmend unpopulären Vietnamkrieg verwickelt. Die Zeile “War is over, if you want it, war is over, now!” die im Hintergrund vom Chor gesungen wird, stammt aus der Kampagne.
„‚Happy Xmas‘ haben Yoko und ich gemeinsam geschrieben. Es heißt darin: ‚War is over if you want it‘. Das war immer noch dieselbe Message – der Gedanke, dass wir genauso verantwortlich sind wie der Mann, der die Knöpfe drückt. Solange die Menschen die Vorstellung haben, dass es ihnen jemand antut und dass sie keine Macht haben, haben sie keine Macht.“
– John Lennon: Dezember 1980
