I like SmugMug for my business site. Flickr is "ok" I guess. I like the navigation and the lightbox, but I hate...HATE...sifting through all the crap to find good photos to look at. You know, someone with their cell phone taking up-skirt pics of girls on the subway, or whatever. Pure crap.

500px is probably the best, in terms of quality of images. TONS of great photos there. I don't like the layout/navigation though. I want to just sit back, view images on black, and use the arrow keys to browse through them.

Mix Flickr's navigation+layout with 500px's quality and I'd have myself a real time sink lol
