Certainly addresses the bulk of it., because it makes it clearer that
not being on this list doesn't mean you're not one of our
highly-skilled photographers.  Egos and all that ...

Again good.

Perhaps a HTML comment near the top so that it doesn't appear to
viewers but might be obvious to an editor?  I don't like doing this in
general but this might be an appropriate place.

No rush, certainly.  I do have a little concern about setting counts
of Featured Pictures up to be the only thing we care about.  FP can be
a bit capricious about what it values at times.  Not sure if I can
think of a better way to decide off-hand, though.
