A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Entirely depends on the type of photography you're doing.
I can shoot the outside of a building or tabletop product photos with a 50% keep rate.
Pinup photos with a first time model? I tell them that 1% awesomeness is success.
If you can't remember your intent when it's time to edit, write it down. That will help you be more intentional when you shoot. It was what photography students had to do pre-digital.
Also, start analyzing what went wrong with the 99% you don't use so you can stop doing those things.
What, I think shooting models is pretty easy to get a good take rate.
A pretty picture of a pretty girl is easy. A great picture, with the perfect pose, lighting, comp, etc gets tougher.
Sure she'd post most, but it's that 1% that makes YOU look good.
