Default Something like Flickr, but without forced downsizing?

I uploaded some pictures to Flickr last night for the first time. It
seems OK (barely) and it is free. But what killed it for me was that it
automatically downsized all the pictures I uploaded to something about
close to one megapixel.

I can't accept this. I twisted my back last week getting some nice macro
shots, and Flickr goes and ****s all over the fine detail that I like.

So what is your favorite Flickr alternative that does NOT force-downsample
pictures?

Thanks for your suggestions!

If you pay for flickr, you can upload any size image you want. Flickr
limits uploads on a bandwidth basis, not a file size one. The free
account, however, limits the size of the image.
