I don't claim to understand Flicker but I don't think my images are visible by casual browsers, they are (mostly) tabbed private. I haven't bothered to figure out the in depth pro's and cons but for what I want, a springboard to launch images onto forums, it seems to work well enough.

If I have a friend who I want to show an image I give them the link to wherever the image is shown, here or one of the car forums I hang out on.

If none of the commercial image hosting sites do what you need then why not host your own images? A modest website is cheap enough and mostly the software is free or you may even have it yourself already, Lightroom and similar software can produce galleries to suit most needs.

There is also Coppermines gallery software which is used by many sites, my local camera club uses it quite well. I think for a modest single user that is cheap enough from memory.
