Interesting, but a slight critique. There's some lens chromatic aberration in the bokeh/blur... a better lens that performs with little chroma wide open would solve it, or failing that stopping down just a couple notches down from wide open. Yet another reasons people pay for hi-resolution high-quality photographs, or take their own. Photographs cost money because they provide value, and some random photos taken by a…
It's amazing how much the title submission can influence comments. Original title: "Hated expensive, crappy stock photos so I made this." Current title: "Free hi-resolution photos for your website. 10 new photos every 10 days" A lot of these comments are really negative and might be confusing to people who didn't know the original title. And frankly, when you have a title like that to start, it warrants some of the c…
Still - It is too general in both case and i can't seem to understand the use case.

You are extending Apple way more rights than they actually have. Trademark and copyright don't exist to keep people from saying negative things about you.

Why does he need to beat Flickr? Should I not open an e-commerce shop because Amazon exists? I think this is a great idea. Why go through the hassle of selling your photos and worrying about people stealing them when you can make money on ad revenue instead?
"Should I not open an e-commerce shop because Amazon exists?" - probably not, and definitely not if you're going to only sell 10 things.
What the hell's happening to HN? Why so many negative put downs on pet projects? Someone just posted 10 free images for you to photoshop your startup's screenshot onto. Shut up, take it, and say thank you. Jesus Christ! What? Your poor egos are hurt because you didn't change the world before age 25 and now have to attack everyone's pet project for not being the next flickr? So what did you guys make? Post links pleas…
Honestly. Nearly every crappy comment I see, while lower on the page, is still black. They're sending a signal that such behavior is acceptable. Kill them off ASAP.
Again, really great work, and thank you again.

Some of the blur appears to have been added in post-processing.
