Yes, it does look crunchy. The image has potential.
Did you check the linked version?
Flickr does an awful job on some images pushing my sharpening over the top when reducing the files.
E.G. compare the various versions here:

I think they use something like "Bicubic Sharper" in Photoshop.
Maybe I should use thumbnail size in these case to make people click the image for enlargement.
This is the second time an image I am linking from Flickr looks crunchy.
Not sure yet how to solve the issue.

P.S: I replaced the image with a smaller version where the crunchiness sort of vanishes again. I hope this works better.
