Review of Image Search Engines/Sites

Flickr happens to be my favorite, mostly because I already am a member and familiar with the site.  Something I like about Flickr which I did not find on other sites is the lack of advertisements.  It also happens to be easy to navigate and easy to search by people/subject/genre/etc.  
My next favorite site is myartspace.com.  I actually ran a couple searches and decided to become a member and post my own artwork.  I like that there is a place on the site to find contests, but there aren't many and they are all old.
As for photography, Fotki is the way to go.  There are a number of contests available to enter.  The one thing I didn't like about Fotki is the fact that there are numerous advertisements on every page.

  1. I'll have to checkout Fotki for photography. The contests sound like an interesting idea. And not being marketed to with excessive ads would be a welcome relief!
