Flickr has this new feature called a "Gallery". ; Basically, it allows you to select from others' photos and add them to your own gallery along with your own commentary for each shot. I like the feature because it's one of the first things I've seen that allows you to assemble pictures from others that you really like and control their display. ; Here, we have the option of quoting an image that someone else posts and complimenting them on it, but we can't really say, "Hey, John, post a link to this picture of yours beside Cletus' picture here, I like them both and I want others to see them." ; Well, we could, but people may not be inclined to oblige. Anyway, below is a link to gallery of innovative (as I see them) Walt Disney World shots posted by some of my contacts this summer. ; Coming up with more creative and fresh shots has become a goal of mine, and oddly enough, I've found that the work of others' (along with old WDW souvenir books) can be the perfect catalyst to get the creative juices following.

I still don't know how I feel about others putting my pictures on their galleries. ; I'm still contemplating preventing people from doing that. ; Fortunately, I rarely have pictures people would want to hang in their virtual gallery
What are your potential qualms with it? ; For me, I see no real downside because people who otherwise may not view my images will see them and may visit my photostream. ; The only potential problem I can see is mis-attribution, but it clearly states to whom the images belong.
Here is a link to my photostream, if that is what you are looking for Tom. http://www.flickr.com/photos/polynesianmedic/
