Could anybody give me some feedback on my webshots?

Also, my site is at its limit, and I don't want to pay for premium, but want to be able to keep all my photos together. Any ideas there?

well, I cannot help on webshots, except to say cull some more, but for storage, fer $150 or less at Staples, an EXTERNAL 300gig hard drive looks like a long term winner, it will expire by itself (eventually) and will not need upgrading over the years as your computers expire. Of coarse, for belt and suspenders, get two! BTW, my 30-40 year old slides fade, the carosels take up a lot of room, and I hafta get up offa my butt to change 'em, not so with the hard drive. Ed

I'm not too familiar with webshots; I use Photobucket: http://www.photobucket.com/. They give you 1GB of space. I've been very happy with them thus far.

If you want a site strictly for showing off your railroad photos, consider Railroad Picture Archives: http://rrpicturearchives.net/.

I am aware of rrpicture archives, and already have an album up there, but are they OK with a couple non-transit photos mixed in? Are subway pics allowed?

I think they're OK with pretty much anything that runs on rails or is related to rail operations. Subways would fit that criteria, in my opinion.
