I was working on edits from a hike the other day, and I randomly decided to push the shadows and highlights to the extremes for us here to poke fun at - mimicking the early days of HDR editing and how flat the tones had to be. Well, joke was on me, cause I ended up liking the results, lol! I'm sure the RAW data (from a Lumix S5) was the primary savior, but it really didn't look bad. I obviously scaled back the sliders and did some proper adjustments, I just thought it was kind of a funny on how an ironic edit became my jumping-off point for the final result :)
For what you want to use it for, Flickr is still the best option!
I recently started to revive mine, and frankly should've used it for a link I posted this morning instead of 500px :P
