1. Submit photographs.
2. Search for photographs.
3. Rate photographs.
4. View top rated photographs, top images of the week/month/all time, top images buy category.
5. View photographs by category.
6. View photographs by name.
7. Submit feedback about a photograph and read what others wrote (a messageboard with image on top).
8. View all the photographs that he submitted.
9. Create a personal gallery of photographs from photographs submitted by others.
10. View list of authors by name.
11. View statistics, such that how many other users viewed his/hers picture.
Some information about the project:
Paid?
The site will contain: ad words, static banners. The site will not contain: flash advertisement, animated gif. banners. All the profit will be divided.
However, I do not think that substantial traffic will be generated during the first year.
Working Hours?
I plan to work on weekends since I am busy all other days of the week. I am going to work 12 hours per week. You must be able to contribute at least 4 hours per week.
Time Span?
The start date is July 15. The project must be finished by the end of the summer.
Web Addres?
The site will be here: http://naturefoto.org
Why would somebody need another photo site?
The odd thing is that I did not find a website having similar features that I listed and dedicated thoroughly to nature photography. Most of the sites are general.
One more thing, please do not join me if you do not like nature photography. My personal opinion is that you can create something good only if you are passionate about the subject.
