In Picasa Web, you could get a public link to individual images that you had set to public. But in Google+ I can't figure out how to get a public link for an image. I can only get a link to a public album.
How can I get a public link to an individual image? Is it possible? It was always very helpful for things like, posting an image on Craigslist or something like that.

Update 3 Looks like they changed the context-menu behavior back to my original answer! i've removed the alternate solution because this is the best answer, but I've saved it in case it goes away again :) Anyway, original answer below:
If you right-click on the image and select "Copy image URL" it should copy the public URL to your clipboard.
Likewise, you can right-click on an image and select "Open image in new tab." The URL you go to should be publicly shareable.
