I consider this picture one of my better shots, and I especially like how candid it is. Just thought I'd share.

You don't have to remove your old pictures. With Flickr you're allowed to upload 100mb of new stuff every month, for free. Unlimited if you subscribe.

BTW nice pic.

Isn't there a limit of 200 pictures. I don't think I have that many good ones, but I uploaded pictures of an event and some more. I really think I ought to remove them, but I just haven't. This was from a phase when I used to take pictures left, right and center because I just landed a digital camera. I know that isn't what Flickr is for, but I just haven't got myself to remove those pictures

You're one of the few people who recognise a top like that. I used to love playing with them. They require some serious skill (or at the very least, skill that I don't posess) but they were so much fun.

I really like this one! Very nice! The smile is genuine...candid shots are the best, you catch people as they really are.

Just checked, and you're right. Looks like I'll have to think about upgrading my account since I'm at 168 pics right now. But it only limits your stream to the last 200 pics. Previous ones can't be viewed by others but they'll still be stored and I assume accessible by you.
