Google seems to be testing a new design for how Google Image search shows you previews of images after you click on the result. The hard thing about tracking Google Images is that different countries and regions have different interfaces, I believe because of local laws. But I believe this is a new interface.

I am personally unable to replicate this from New York in any browser but I saw two tweets from searchers discussing this new interface. @MaiMolina_ and @thibaultadda both shared screen shots of this with me.

Here is what the new interface looks like when you click on an image, you can enlarge the image below by clicking on it:

Here is what I see, and what you probably see:

I personally like the new test, it is cleaner and seems more consistent with the mobile user interface.
