Se also same feature request for the http://drupal.org/project/flickr module:
"Retrieving favorites would be equally useful as just getting ones own photos, and could trigger even more traffic, benefiting both the local site and Flickr, I would think.

API module supports it already.

Can you describe what the UI would look like? nodes? blocks? just a single page per flickr account?

Example: a configurable setting for the number of thumbnails to fetch, and the number of columns to present them in (possibly also the size (pixels/width), then simply present it as a wall of favorites that can be placed anywhere by using a tag such as [flickr-favorites:flickr-id123] in the body text of a page, and also as a block. Side by side with the standard dimensions and spacing just as it appears on Flickr on the users favorites page. When clicking on one of the thumbnails, it takes you to that particular photo on Flickr.

If possible (not sure if the API allows it), it would be great to be able to fetch and store the standard size photo on the Drupal site, with link back to the actual photo on Flickr.

Is something like this already possible with any of the flickr modules that are based on that API module, or is it still just an untapped potential?

Although it's a nice idea, I don't think the Flickr API module should support this. As it's an API module, its up to other contribs to build extra functionality upon it. Maybe a 'Flickr Favorites' module? The API already supports Flickr Favorites, so I'm marking this as Won't fix.
