Flickr – Pick a Picture
Lets you pick a Creative Commons picture from Flickr and use it anywhere you want on your WordPress installation. The plugin will maintain attribution to the original Flickr author to keep peace with the CC Attribution License.

Features:
- Search photos from flickr with creative commons license by tag (since version 1.2 you can search by any type of license)
- Preview image results.
- Define the order of the search results.
- Automatically add image caption that links back to the original flickr owner.
- Lets you use the standard features provided by WordPress for image editing:
- Image alignment.
- Cropping.
- Rotating.
- Flipping.
- Resizing.

flickr-pick-a-picture
