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.

Hmm, a pet piranha? That leads me to a theme suggestion

What to select: stuff that you like, but don’t think would do well in a normal contest. Of course, there is a temptation to select stuff that will do well, so this ends up being mostly a free-for-all.

For the IR, I modified a camera(Fujifilm F20) to only do IR by replacing that high-pass filter with a low-pass filter, so it is expensive (The cost of 1 camera, if done successfully).
