photo query

[arguchik]

i have a question about posting photos online. i have just been using LJ's gallery feature, and it works fine for the pics i want to post in my LJ blog. however, i also have a free flickr account that i am essentially not using because it seems kind of limited/ing. has anyone out there upgraded to a flickr "pro" account ($24.99/annum)? do you like it? what do you like/dislike about it? is it worth the cash? do you use some other online photo tool that you prefer to flickr? is there a better free service out there?

just weighing options. i'm starting to make more use of my digital camera, and i'd like to make some of the photos i take available for friends and family to view.
