Anyone here post photos to a.net?
I submitted a couple of pictures to airliners.net few days ago, and am still waiting for them to be screened. I'm getting so nervous! Hahahah... 
So wondering if any of you here have pictures posted there, and what pics are they?
Anyways, if mine get accepted, I'll provide the link.

As with anything, be sure to read the TOS very carefully. There are a ton of sites that will state in large print that "you retain the copyright" for your images, but when you get to the small print, it states that "you grant xxx perpetual, non-revokable rights to use the submitted images in any and every way possible, including those not now known, for all of eternity without any compensation to you EVER."
This means that while you can do whatever you want with the image, they can too forever and ever.
I did a bit of a search, and could not reach their actual submission contract, so I'm not sure if this is a "good" site or a "bad" site.
Most people think "oh, it's no big deal, my photos aren't that great anyway", but you'd be amazed what they will do with it. Even with the low quality images you're submitting, there is a huge ability for unscrupulous behavior.
As you've submitted photos, you should have access to the TOS, so please let us know if they are abusive or not.
P.S. I got screwed by an online site that claimed rights to my photos for all eternity so it's a big issue for me now.

Okay, forget it. Both rejected. And I don't think I'd like to take pictures that fit their very strict criteria.
I have both of those pictures posted on my own site already. I'm not going to say which ones, but you guys feel free to look at all mine...

Nice photos! I especially like the one with the sun peeking out from under the wing!
Sorry they didn't accept them, but there are lots of other places to post photos for comments, etc. I know a good one if you're interested - lots of very good feedback.

toedtoes - Do tell! I'm interested.
Patty - One of the pics is the one with passengers coming off the stairs at the apron of LNJ. They say no "recongizable faces" allowed.
The other one shows the wing of the 737 out the window with the LNJ building. They say "wrong motive" or something like that.
Anyhow, I tried to post them because no pictures have ever been posted of Lincang (LNJ), and I thought it would be of value to some...

You asking me why I wear sandals on the plane without socks? I think that's the most comfortable footwear for a 15-hour flight.
I know a lot of poeple will tell me all the reasons why I shouldn't, but hey, I like them, and that's enough a reason for me!

Well, it makes so much sense why you never see the faces of FAs (or anybody) over there.
And I tried so hard to take pictures of their faces! Totally useless. I guess I should have concentrated on their behinds...

I split off the photos into two folders, and added more photos to each.
The original is all Continental, IAH-EWR-HKG:

This new one has the four domestic Chinese flights:
