My thinking on that difficulty was that generally people have significant emotional attachment to their family or pets, and wanted something a tad bit more interesting. Otherwise it would probably end up being a “My cats: let me show them to you” theme, and I wanted something different from that.

I was going for styles of pictures, like orionid‘s 3D pictures and my pictures of models, for example.

I might enter some of my Infrared stuff as well.

Thanks for the explanation. I see what you mean. You are likely to get lots of “Here’s my dog/cat/rabbit/hamster/piranha. I think he’s cute, but you may not” pictures.

It does raise the question of what to select. Is there any need to ask for an explanation of why the submitter doesn’t think it will gain votes?

As for IR, do you use film or digital? I really want to give that area of photography a try, but it looks costly and difficult if done with film. Digital looks tricky due to the IR filter most DSLRs have in front of the sensor.
