It was possible to get the direct link some months ago but now, since Imgur was updated, I am unable to find the direct link. See:

Some imgur alternatives that support direct links: imgoat.com, kek.gg, tinyimg.io, catbox.moe, imgtc.com, magaimg.net. – Ohad Schneider Oct 27 '17 at 20:17

Sadly, none of the alternatives I mentioned seem to support CORS (imgur does). – Ohad Schneider Oct 28 '17 at 15:58
Imgur does not provide a direct link to images any more.
Still. You have a couple of alternatives:
Alternative 1
Right-click on the image and choose Open Image in New Tab
Once the image is opened, copy the image address
Alternative 2
Right-click on the image and choose Copy Image Address
Alternative 3
After you uploaded the image click on the little arrow on the top right corner of the image and go to Get share links

This seems out of date. imgur have gone out of their way to stop you having a direct image link. They now turn images into videos and you have to embed JavaScript to post them. It really sucks. – Jez Dec 6 '16 at 10:04

2@Jez Funny you should say that. I just tried both of Alternative 1 and Alternative 2 and they work just fine. I really cannot see any issues there. Am I missing something? – marikamitsos Dec 16 '16 at 11:21

1Yes, you are missing something, marikamitsos. As Jez stated, imgur has gone out of its way to hide any way to direct link images. It used to be readily accessible. Option #1 posted above is no longer available. – Guest Feb 22 '17 at 21:47

1@jahroy Because "That link works, but it is NOT a direct link", you have to apply one of the alternative solutions as desribed on the answer, to get the direct link "to just the image, without any of the imgur nonsense". You really do NOT need the direct link feature. – marikamitsos May 21 '17 at 6:46
