There's no shortage of image hosting and photo sharing websites, but newcomer eHo.st is worth a look for its ethical strong author attribution features, no image size limits, and clean design.

eHo.st has a very unique feature that credits the original author by using Tin Eye to verify the original creators of any image that gets over 10,000 views—a plus for people who are frustrated when their images get stolen. The site seems very dedicated to helping image creators:

If you can prove you are the author and your image receives more than 1,000 views, we will both link to your page with the new Google rel=author tag AND put a canonical tag on the page to point to your page so any link value gets passed onto your site.

For all users, the site's clean design—you can add a "?mode=blank" to any image to only focus on the image, and ads only load after the image finishes loading—is also a nice draw.

As a "Community Owned" image hosting site, eHo.st is selling "nodes" of the service for $10 a month and will in return share revenues with owners. Learn more about this interesting and different image hosting service by hitting up the link below.
