< 	As for my personal view, it depends on the image.  My scale
< 	for acquired images runs about like this:
 
< 	    XXX		Yuch (call it porn) -- Deleted
< 	    XX		Distasteful, no "syntactic" value -- Deleted
< 	    X		Distasteful, but kept for algorithm testing
< 	    R		Sometimes mediocre to poor & deleted,
< 			Sometimes cute or artful or otherwise nice & kept;
< 			If marginally valuable, usually deleted.
< 	    G		Sometimes mediocre to poor & deleted,
< 			Sometimes valuable & kept.
< 			If marginally valuable, usually kept

Q1:  How do rate the much-used lenna image [girl in hat with feather]?

Q2:  How about the original (uncropped) centerfold version of the same?
