25) Photo Rogue
http://www.photorogue.com/

Photo Rogue has a unique concept — if you can't find a picture you need, submit a request to Photo Rogue and you might see your request fulfilled. The site relies on volunteer photographers. Before submitting a request, review the Guidelines. The service is free and you can read more about the rights in the volunteering FAQ.
The gallery lists the requests from newest to oldest. Each request includes the request, the date of the request, the number of photos in the album and the number of times it has been viewed. Open the album to see its thumbnail images and click on an image to view its full size. The site lets you comment on pictures and it has an RSS feed available.
