I like to think I am very conscious of copyright. I might not always adhere to it in my person life (who can claim they do these days?!) but professionally, everything is done strictly legitimately. With that in mind... Am I the only person who is slightly uncomfortable with the phrasing around PD and CC0? With other copyright licenses there is somebody there is saying they own something. I'm particularly uncomfortab…

There are potential ways that you could fix this from a technology perspective, e.g. have a process to create a new JPEG with the credit below the original photo. But anything like this is going to be a bit clunky and potentially ugly graphically.
Firstly it is slow... Secondly I have typed "wolf" and I got: 3 foxes, 1 lion, 2 monkeys, 1 snow house and 2 wolfs that do not look like wolfs !?
Most of the images are automatically tagged, and can sometimes be incorrectly labelled. I'm aiming to work through and manually check them all. In the meantime, I might add the ability to flag incorrect keywords.
Why not just use flickr? A search for images with "No known copyright restrictions" returned 663,502 results. https://www.flickr.com/search/?license=7%2C9%2C10&text=&adva...

They often collect images en masse from a bunch of sources without further inspection. If someone uploads a copyrighted image to these sources and marks them CC0, they will end up in these CC0 aggregators. And, if your use of this image is discovered, you will be held liable for the damage caused by your action (well, at least here in Sweden).
I would do some research before using these images in a professional context. Look up the photographer and confirm that the image is a work of her/him. If this site included proper uploader details, it would make this work easier.
Very nice site! Since your site is so much based around search, I thought I would pass on a few suggestions based on what I saw. If you happen to be using a search based engine for your content such as ElasticSearch, SOLR or maybe Azure Search :-), there are a few simple things you could add to make the experience a little smoother. Suggestions in the search box are nice to allow people to quickly see results as they type. You could even add thumbnails of the images in the type ahead such as you see using the Twitter Typeahead library (http://twitter.github.io/typeahead.js/). I also noticed that your search does not handle spelling mistakes or phonetic search (matching words that sound similar). Finally, through the use of Stemming, search engines can often help you find additional relevant content. For example, if the person is looking for mice, but your content has the word mouse in it, this will bring back a match. Since you don't have a lot of content, this can really help people find relevant content.
Hope that helps.

Is there an algorithm for what you just described? I'm currently researching for color classification and it seems quite a complicated issue.
Hi, If you want you can contact me. I created a powerful algorithm to detect dominant colors in an image using K-means clustering and lab color space. Examples: https://twitter.com/kamy22/status/479040852028051456 https://twitter.com/kamy22/status/472517258418606080 Have a good day!
