Photo navigation suggestion

Heros,

I would like to suggest if you can consider the photo navigation in large view could add something like:

When I hover the mouse cursor over the right portion of the image, there will be an indication jump out to indicate if you click on it it will go to the next photos in the album, at the last image of the album there will not be such indication.

In reverse when I hover the mouse cursor on the left portion of the image it will goes backward.

So this could save me to reach the arrow key on the keyboard and it is very common on other site which I think it is intuitive to use.

Regards,
Cody

    Just hover the mouse over the right or left arrow at the top center. No need
    to move anything, just click.

    I know that arrow. Personally I think clicking on the left/right side on the image itself is more intuitive and convenience, which is something like the photo album on Facebook. The arrows on at the top center is just too far and small.

    Personally, I dislike the navigation schemes (as used in FB and the SM slideshow) where the left nav is far to the left and the right nav is far to the right. They're too far apart for efficient navigation in my opinion. I prefer a UI where the left/right navigation is right next to each other so I can more easily go forward, forward, forward, then decide to back up, etc... The SM nav above the image works fine for me. There's no need in this case for the mouse to be over the main image during navigation.

    Of course, UI is just an opinion so others may have different views, but I thought I'd explain why I like the way it is.
