For many photographers, Flickr just doesn’t cut it anymore. If you find yourself wanting to be part of a more professional online photography community, check out oneeyeland.com. Released just last year, OneEyeland is still growing but is already home to over 2000 members and over 200 featured photographers from around the world. What sets OneEyeland apart from sites like Flickr and Deviantart is the screening process each image must go through before it will be displayed on the site. An image will only be featured if at least four of the six jury members vote in its favor.
This ensures that only high-quality, professional images find their way into the community. Free membership allows you to upload photos, and give and receive image feedback. Once you have at least five selected images, you become eligible for Premium Membership (costing $100 US per year). Of course, if you only want to browse and don’t plan on uploading images of your own, no registration is required. In addition to the ‘Photographer of the Month’, ‘Random Picture’, ‘Picture of the Week’, and ‘Recent Uploads’ sections, OneEyeland hosts news stories about international photo competitions and exhibitions, as well as product information.
