Fubuki's Mantis Fu: Animated Set is pretty cool and excellent as a slide show. I'm also fond of his My addiction photo and his double downed is just brilliant.

OOOH! I love this. Eek, where do I start?
I love bigempty's Iceland set, especially this photo.
I've seen a few other remarkable sets recently, but I can't remember where. :( (We need a way to add sets to our favorites - hint, hint!)
No idea where this came from, but seems like good (that is, strange!) material for the FlickrBlog:
www.flickr.com/photos/72646163@N00/740901/ (Warning: may be "internet crap"! Can't tell.)
...oh yeah, plus about a billion other photos from my favorites! A few that I particularly like:
www.flickr.com/photos/tine/2008598/
www.flickr.com/photos/janusfinder/2041921/
www.flickr.com/photos/neil_b/864647/

www.flickr.com/photos/kallegutt/2251854/
www.flickr.com/photos/boobyboo/2489390/
Sorry; that ended up being a lot.
In terms of groups...
Glimpse looks promising.
OK, you're all probably totally sick of my suggestions now. Your fault for asking, though! :p

Would be nice to publicise these new groups:
Flag Abuse
"about the commercialization of the image, of the icon, of the flag" (open to flags from any country, but most examples so-far have been of the US flag)
Exquisite Corpse
"A group for surreal collages made from other people's images"
Images used with permission - contributors of images can leave links to them in this thread
also...
the new "Collage Beginners" group

Just wanted to draw your attention to the following set by Nadar. It is a set of brilliant photos taken by his deceased father. Without flickr they would be languishing unseen in the family ephemera, and that would be a shame because they are stunning. This set is an on going loving tribute by a son to his father.
www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcompeoplenadar/sets/2439/
So not only is flickr giving contemporary photographers a venue in which to be seen, but it has the capacity to give voices to noteworthy photographers of the past too.

Hey somebonnie, it'a bit of work. I have to decide on the original photo (my fave for the month that is generally landscape oriented), and then go into photoshop and cut it all into the little parts. Then, i upload them and change their posted dates to the appropriate dates (and times of 23:59:59 so they're the one that shows), and that's it! It's a way to occupy an hour and a half on a non-photo day...

Some nice little groups that could benefit from some promotion. None of these are mine...
Mannequin - Beautiful and creepy photos of store mannequins.
Story Project - photos that have inspired original stories, or bits of stories, or perhaps the photos were taken to illustrate stories. With the story attached, they become part of the Story Project.
Sand - A place to post photos of small particles of pulverized rock.
Statuary - Photos and discussion about statues, ranging from gargoyles to commemorative to crazy things carved in stone. Anything that looks perfectly still in real life.
Spilled - Photos of spilled things, whether accidental or on purpose

The Abandoned pool is up to 500 or so ( I have to do a little pruning!) and it is studpendous. It's a terrific slideshow. People really stuck to the subject and it is truly a "collection." I hesitate to rave about this since it's "my" group, but it's not my group, I'm just the maid.

The Glimpse group has risen rapidly since it began on December 11th. There are currently 198 members with 269 Glimpses in the photo pool.
The group is for photographs that show a Glimpse to another place or world. It's the idea of a secret garden through the gate, an exciting adventure to be had beyond the place you are.
The main point is that you should be able to see only a tantalising Glimpse of what is beyond, or around the corner, or through the doorway ...
The different ways the Glimpse theme has been interpreted is constantly amazing.

There's a new group called Picture Requests, that takes photojournalism one step further. Say you need a pic of dried up Venice? Ask for it in Pic Requests, and someone might respond and make the pic for you. Of course for this group to work, it needs global attention. But I think it's a great idea. More info here.

Velvet G's set "The Unseen War" is an ingenious, imaginative collection of macro photos of toy soldiers presented in a way that's going to blow your mind. In general, this guy does a lot fantastic work, but this particular set is something special.
  
And please consider giving a plug to the new-but-booming group All Animals. It's an all-inclusive group for photos of any and all non-human fauna.
From the group description: "Animals of all types: furry or scaly, feathered or slimey, large or small, wild or domestic, cute or ugly, cuddly or scary. Anything from otters to elephants, diatoms to whales, hummingbirds to albatross."

Yesterday, I met a professional photojournalist from the AJC (Atlanta-Jornal Constitution). He showed me his photos from the last 20 years and his Canon $4,500 Digital Monster.
All I know is that I will study photojournalism at University of Georgia, Athenas at the end of the year and I will not REST until I get on the FlickrBlog!!!

Actually, to respond to this topic, I think "seawallwonder" (amazing photos of Vancouver, Canada) should get an honorable mention or Technicolor Girl, just for being so darn cute, or Efatima, Fubiki, or Tato!

This weekend is packed with political events for the US. There are two protest sites (one is my own, sorry for the plug) that are timely, so i thought i would mention them:
Turn your back on Bush: Express your displeasure with George W.Bush before the inauguration, January 20th. www.flickr.com/groups/turnyourbackonbush/
I ♥ Roe v Wade: post pictures of your support for Roe v Wade before or after the march on January 22nd. www.flickr.com/groups/iheartroevwade/
Both would look great on www.mappr.com after the events, if we can get loads of people to participate.

On the Macro group there's a new idea brewing.
It's a 100 Steps challenge. You take a macro, walk 25 steps, take another ... until you have five images. You can choose your starting point of course, but you must find something to photograph at the point you stop next.
