I would like to create a recursive loop by submitting this site onto itself.

It's hard to find good inspiration galleries that feature modern design and code. Drawar's gallery (no longer around) used to be my favorite, but lately I've mainly used Unmatched Style:

Sometimes what helps me is poring through WP themes or frameworks to get ideas for placement, sizing, etc. This is a great resource, though.
do you generate the website snapshots manually or using some headless browser or a 3rd party service ? .. just curious :)
I take all the shots manually. If I were to do it automatically (maybe I will in the future) I would use this: http://url2png.com/ - great results.
I'm curious on a legal aspect: Do you check with the website owners before posting?
No. I'm just going on the assumption that everyone would like to see traffic to their site, and I make it clear in the footer that all screenshots are the copyright of their owners.
In its history (since 2009) I've had one take down request, from a photographer who was tired of having his work ripped off so wanted to keep a low profile.

The one thing I've always struggled with is translating design as described by a landing page to the design of specific components; Forms, modals, and other parts of the application. I would like to see combination screen shots of landing pages and these components to see how the designer was able to achieve this.
Maybe beyond the scope of "inspiration," but my two cents none-the-less.
Good photography undoubtedly improves the visual appeal of a site, but I often find myself in a position with just layouts, text, and a few assets. Being able to turn your basic tools into a visually appealing site is what I see as excellent web design.
