Default Throw away only out of focus ones.

I never delete images still in the camera. All editing is done in computer with PhotoMechanics or Lightroom.. The only images thrown away are the ones that are out of focus. You'll never know and wished that you had kept saved different views of the same image your client wanted.

That said, I'd like to see a closer crop on the bird, so that it's more prominent. That might involve cloning it in closer to the clouds at the bottom (which add interest).
