Some of images there are bad, but they are getting better around editorial review before posting. The interesting thing to me is why would they enter a crowded market with established players with such exorbitant pricing? Low res images cost $100 on ImagePick, iStockPhoto costs about $4. So there must be some brilliance I am missing? ImagePick is interesting, but then so is iStockPhoto. Some of images there are bad, but they are getting better around editorial review before posting.

I guess Imagepick is aimed at corporates/media who have not a jot of an idea about CC. I stand corrected - yes CC pix on Flickr do have a lot to offer.
