Here's the same image on flickr: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4046/4229027949_aa87ccf1be_o.jpg And, I've just realised that the newer version of iPhoto comes with a built in flickr uploader. This would allow me to retain the convenience I have at the moment. [Cross-posting this from the Facebook comment thread]
