I like the domain, the design is usable, and the database is great. This has it all.

#12what is the diff betweeen this and pixabay or pexels.com? which there was one meta-search engine to cover them all :)

#13nice one!

#14I always use https://pexels.com. They also have only CC0 images.

#15Very nice! What are you using to search the photos by colour and feature?
Probably performed dominant colour analysis on each (like color-thief), sort by similar ranked colours using a closeness transformation like LAB? No idea for the feature though.

#16My first search on "new york" returned nothing...

Is there an algorithm for what you just described? I'm currently researching for color classification and it seems quite a complicated issue.

#18An idea: You could use this pretrained machine learning library to classify your images/improve search even more:

There's also http://librestock.com/, which you can use to search Pexels, but also a few other sites.

I'm currently trying to do this for my own side project, my current plan was analyse each photo using one of the many color analyser algos out there (color-thief seems to be popular/efficient), but the problem is, color is a very complicated thing to compare. I think euclidean distance for two LaB colors is the best for complexity to result ratio (and RBG to LaB is an easy/well-solved problem).
