I guess I will ring in here and report my keeper ratio.
As art I would say 1 in maybe 5 or 6 rolls of 24 exp.
print film.

As a school yearbook photographer I would say 550 frames
from a 100 foot long roll.  Or about 990f actual portraits taken.
I may like 3 or 4 of those personally.

A wedding photographer needs about 90% keepers to make a
successful day.  This is my guess, any wedding shooters could 
speak up now and let me know if I am guesstimating correctly.
