How about a --min-size option, next to --max-size

I'm thinking that the best way might be to integrate part of find's
code, and to implement a --limit-find="list of find options" way, e.g.
rsync -av --limit-find="-size -10000 -mtime +10 -user pete" src dest
That way we don't have to describe all the possible find options, we
simply refer to the find(1) manpage :-)   I don't know how easily find's
source code can be extracted and used in this way... Especially
important for keeping up with changes in find...
