The site I suggest we target is Getty images. http://www.gettyimages.com/
Try their search with an image in mind, like "black child reading a book".
There is no reason we can't do even better than they do. The software isn't even hard, we just need to make a commitment to doing tagging right and doing it diligently.

As far as your average Internet user is concerned we are competing with google images. Somewhat tricky.
Not really - Google Images' search sucks as well - try using it a lot and see what I mean. Their text search of the web is fantastic, but their image search is crappy.
With tagging, etc., Commons can do a hell of a lot better.
