If I had scads of free time, I'd code some sort of magical Flickr personality test. Given that I don't, I'm going to cut to the chase and pose the following:
Kitten, baby, sunset or flower?
Kitten, baby, sunset or flower?
Flower.
Kittens and babies are too skewed by people's own (mis)perceptions of their own kittens and babies. Sunsets are spectacular but a little too unsubtle. Flower pictures still have the capability of being subtle.

Sunset -
The only one that has a real transporting effect on the viewer. Exceptional sunset pictures can make us feel like we are on a little vacation.
Babies, kittens, and flowers aren't going anywhere, I'm afraid.

Of those, I'd say sunset.
And it's a good job you didn't go to much effort, Heather, as due to the fact I have no personality at all, your efforts would have been for nought...

Lichens, although now that it is summer, I have turned to dragonflies and damseflies. There are so many good photographers in that area. But I long for the winter when all nature is dead. Except for lichens.
I will put my vote in for baby. I have been seeking out friends with babies just to photograph them

babies, between the ages of 2 and 93. flowers if they are held by said babies; sunsets if they cast their glow upon said babies; kittens who are being squeezed by... you get the idea.
pie works, though, even without the babies.

A baby petting a kitten which is playing with a flower at sunset. On second thought, I'd move the baby, kitten, and flower out of the way and just photograph the sunset.

Please -- anything but baby.
getthebubbles, lol.
BUT...remember! A black and white kitten provides a compact, single-subject, top-notch Zone System exercise -- a day or two with that kitten, variable exposure controls, and sufficient dedication to the craft, and it's bye-bye blown highlights!

if you lean towards baby+sunset then i regret to inform you that you are in actuality... a teletubby.

Let's make this meaningful for the guys:
Blond, Redhead, Brunette or Bald?
Sorry, there's not much difference between those choices...how about:
Rugby, Baseball, Tennis or Racing?

A kitten mauling a baby wearing some form of flower print clothing, silhouetted against a photoshopped in sunset.
Preferably tilt-shifted in photoshop as well.
And run through a lomo filter.
I'm going to have to have a lie down now after comtemplating such excellence.

Babies eating kittens...
Surely that was not intended as a Young Einstein reference (kitten pie scene)... but made me think of it anyhoo.
I was about to post a surrealist combination too before I remembered the BabySun in teletubbies, which is still pretty freakin surreal.

Kitten. I can never see enough kittens.
What I find disturbing is when people refer to their ten year old twenty pound cat as a kitten. I mean yes, adult cats are cute too but they are not kittens.

kitten--cooler than the sunset, easier to maintain than the baby and more loving (and longer-lasting) than the flower.
although i myself tend to take the pic of the flower. or the baby if there´s one available, but only at sunset.

Kittens. Cats in general, animals even more general, but if "me" was on the list, it would be a tough competitor.

Kittens at sunset. But only with a tilt-shift OOB jumping wardrobe re-mix with bare feet in HDR with just a wee touch of IR while tossing the camera.
Pie would certainly be easier. And better.

Actually, I'm rather fond of babies -- having had one my own self.
Well, OK, I didn't exactly give birth, but....
Alas, however. Got self into a bit of hot water when she were born and her mother said: "Isn't she beautiful..."
~~and my response was: "Hmm. I think she kinda looks like Yoda."
Sometimes it's best to just keep quiet.
So I will.

Sunset... I think universally it's one of the most appealing and inspiring things to look at... some people are cat people, some people are kid people, but everyone appreciates a beautiful sunset. :)
Although, overall I'd have to agree with Saraeigen's comment above.

Beautiful sunsets.
Kittens are cute, but they grow up to be cats, which are vastly inferior to dogs in the pet stakes.
Babies all look exactly the same. Plus other people's children are not fascinating to anyone but the things' parents.
Flowers...not too keen on flowers. They're just background niceness.

kitty Cats - cute overload style
babys are usually ugly and boring unless you know them
flowers are too abstract for me, since it's flickr i assume we are only refering to macro flowers ;)
sunsets are great, but often boring unless you know the photographer or place.

All four, but I also like old, abandoned buildings. (Jeez, what a weirdo I am).
Kitten! I can easily resist babies but not kittens. Flowers and sunsets are very nice and I have loads of photos of them - but kittens are always interesting to watch and photograph.

Photographer: Baby - since my son tends to be quite photogenic!
Viewer: Sunset - I love to look at nature/landscape pictures!

Sunset, apparently.
And dog.
I don't happen to have any public photos of babies, and my cats can no longer be called kittens, but the only two sunsets I have are drifting towards the top of my view count. I personally think they're among my least interesting photos, but Flickr seems to love sunsets.
And dogs. My step-mother's dog has more views than the sunsets (but has been on Flickr longer).

did anyone else think that this was a slightly messed up version of MMFF?
kittens are cute to play with but not particularly inspiring photosubjects. sunset are always captivating, and i love taking pics of kids, so long as they aren't mine. god, how dodgy does that sound?!
