One in three is high praise.

 

Looooooong ago I worked as an assistant for a guy who shot for Playboy. Not any of the name guys; just someone trying to get in the door. Lots of competition.

When the photo editors would select the photo set for Playmate of the Month, they'd put the portfolios on a long conference table. The editors would walk around the table. Anything they didn't like for any reason at all, they threw on the floor. They just kept walking around the table, throwing stuff on the floor.

When they were done and couldn't find anything more to throw on the floor, then they started looking in earnest.

Any photographer there would have killed for one out of three.
