Where most of your images belong.
I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: EDIT YOUR PHOTOS RUTHLESSLY. There are few things in the world of photography more gratifying than chopping through a mountain of photographs, making good selects (which is harder than it sounds), and then trashing everything else. Literally. If it’s a garbage shot, it’s a garbage shot. Put it in the garbage.
Of course this applies much more so to the world of digital photography. If you’re using a digital camera, you are very likely to find, after only a few years of shooting, that you have tens of thousands of images that are simply polluting your hard drive (and your ability to improve and grow) by there mere existence. Get rid of them!
Best advice I can give for anyone trying to become a good photographer: shoot a lot of images… and delete as many as possible.
