It’s “smart” to show the image search results on site other than the main photo share site but is it fair to merely show those pictures? I wouldn’t like my photos to be taken by somebody from the search engine without reading my description and all the comments my friends leave.

Probably, it’s better to have photo share site with _advanced_ and _smart_ search and promote the site for both terms.
