I have discovered that my work has improved and I want to remove images that I no longer think are "awesome sauce" as I once did. If I delete the ones that are sub-par, will the views they received be gone from my counts?
views and such will vanish as well. if the image was good when you sent it, even if its not as par as it is now, just leave it. i find the old ones that are not so awesome sauce sell pretty well.
I'd leave them up as long as they are sharp and will print. If I took down everything I thought was not so great I'd probably have lost 30% of my sales.
The buying public will buy what they like when they see it. You can not second guess what that will be. But you deny them the opportunity by not allowing them to see it. Have faith in the market place. They will pleasantly surprise you more often than you think. :-)
