flickr The largest photo site in the world. While not a critique site per se - it is, without a doubt, one of the most influential or maybe educational site I've participated in. I am amazed by the volume of exceptional images here. I used to think I was good. Now I realize I have so much to learn! This place forces you to always do your best work and stay sharp. There's a huge amount of talent here and I'm inspired everyday! Nature Photographers Online Magazine, Reader's Forum Nicely put together site for nature photographers only. The Reader's Forum is just a section of Nature Photographers Online Magazine but it is also gaining lots of activity. The forum galleries are based on the degree of Hand Of Man (HOM) present in the image (don't ask me why). (95k image limit) Photo Critique Forum If you're looking to improve your photography you'll enjoy this site for it's friendly, constructive and informative approach to image critique (although some comments can get off topic or personnel). But I can't thank the guys at this site enough for helping me improve my own images! (150k image limit). Seems strange but I don't thing the interface has changed in ten years. PhotoBlink Photo Competition & Forum A really nice critique site. I participated on photoblink for years. The main attraction for this site is it's emphasis on voting as well as the very cool features (theme contests, thumbnail views (on/off), alternate page views, personal galleries, forums, photos of the day, week, etc.). Also, since the emphasis is on voting, the quality of posted images is better than any critique site listed here. The site administrator Sergei Samus has done an outstanding job, far and above what you'll find on any other photography critique site. Completely unique and a joy to visit! (100k image limit) PhotoSIG PhotoSIG is fairly easy to navigate and well constructed. But they tend to be a bit controlling. For example, they have a completely idiotic way of censoring photos. You also cannot view full images that are older than 72 hours without paying $25.00 for a membership. This is why I'm not a member. Anyway, image voting is done with a +/- 1-3 thumbs-up/thumbs-down system (360k image limit).

	B&H Photo Homepage Professional photographer's source for everything from cameras to accessories.

Fuji Film Worldwide Kind of like Kodak's home page but with less links and less useful information. Gitzo Homepage Manufacturer of excellent tripods and heads. Nikon's Homepage While a slicker presentation than Canon's site, it has about the same content - not much. Sigma Corporation Maker of very good lenses that are affordable too.
