Although it hasn't gotten as much press, the simplest Flickr to Twitter tool I know of is SnapTweet (http://snaptweet.com). The cool thing about it is that you can use it from any Twitter client. After you sign up, you can just send a direct message to @snaptweet along with your message and it will automatically grab the last photo in your photostream and tweet it. Or better, you can have it automatically tweet any Flickr photo tagged with snaptweet. Beats having to upload to a another site first or having to use a Firefox extension, IMHO.
I heartily agree with @Jamie Stephens. If you're posting pix to Flickr, just set up an automatic tag (configurable from snaptweet) and the title of the photo is tweeted, along with a link to the photo. That way, you can also easily find all your twitter pix on your flickr account.
And to @Barney - flickr may be owned by Yahoo, but the community within flickr fights the influx of yahoo-ness tooth and nail all the time.

Flickr is owned by Yahoo = fail.

Flickr still provides a damned good service in my book, and is still my photo sharing site of choice.

I'm agreeing with apatheticmike on this one, Flickr is a great service. Yahoo's poor management hasn't effected Flickr service, or their development tools for that matter.

www.snaptweet.com is definitely the way forward for tweeting your Flickr images. You can do it manually with a simple direct message on twitter or you can have it automatically tweet images with a specified tag. Way better than any of these other options.

InfiniteComic is hilarious. I am bookmarking that one!
Another way to share your Flickr photos via Twitter is through FriendFeed. Set your FriendFeed posts to be sent to Twitter via FriendFeed's user settings (assuming you have Twitter and Flickr accounts set up already in FriendFeed) and when you post a new photo to Flickr, the feed will be sent to Twitter.
