For me Russ, the customers can trump what I like in one of two ways. When I shoot T&I, I let the kids/parents do a couple of different poses and then they order one. Sometimes they pick one I like less than others. Sometimes I put a couple of variations online for a customer to pick. For example, I shot some senior baseball players the other day and they each did a few different poses. These shots will be used for their banner. They pick the pose. Again, not always my 1st choice. So, it's not that I don't like them per se, but that I like them less than my favorites. Of course, if the image is garbage, it is deleted immediately and the customer does not get to see or pick it.
Think of it this way. Let's say you take and submit 20 images of a gymnast. Let's say you like them all, but have 2 or 3 favorites. Now, consider that the gymnast wants to order an image, but chooses one of your least favorites.
Also, if I shoot 400 images at a football game and post them online for sale, I don't necessarily like each image. Sometimes, they are just in focus and show somebody. But, that is a potential sale. I don't like the image and would not present it here, but still it might sell.
