Im looking for something that’s a bit more upscale than Flickr—any thoughts?

Thaz really funny question.

You would prefer to display digital views of hard copy rather than files that have been optimized for online viewing ?

Well, a print is not digital so... None.

Love the 'upscale' description in your question.

What you should ask is which site will promote your pictures. Quite honestly: NONE.

You need to do your own marketing to sell, do not depend on websites to that for you.

Thanks for this—I appreciate your civil response in the face of some snarky responses from other members.

Yep, you can't display prints online.

Flickr ain't bad--at least you can upload the original file size so your image can shine with all its details--not on a smart phone though.

If you are serious about this, you might create your own web site.

l was using this site for many years. I then realized they were selling my images to China for one penny. They will only payout when $30 is reached. It would take soooo long. I sold about $25 worth, complained and finally did get a payout and removed all my images.

I've been using Zenfolio for 9 years and really liked it but am now switching over to SmugMug. Zenfolio has started "mandatory" archiving of photos after one year and that just doesn't work for me. Plus their performance has been suffering the last couple of years. I'm in the process of building my SmugMug site now and really like it. I don't sell my photos - strictly for personal use and to allow my real estate customers to download their photos. It's also fairly inexpensive (half of Zenfolio for the features I use).

Are you looking for a site to sell your work or just show it? If it’s the latter and you’re an Adobe subscriber you can easily set up your own website with MyPortfolio, which is included in your subscription.

Some people did not read your post right. Sometimes some of them can be snarky, but not this time. They miss read your post.

I see no mention of displaying prints online on the above post.
